Test Kitchen Tip

To prevent splattering if you’re using a standard blender, remove the plastic insert on the lid, cover it with a towel, and purée the soup in small batches.

Instructions

Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and celery, cover pot, and sweat until softened, 10 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and 1 tsp. celery seeds, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Stir in whole tomatoes and broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup 10 minutes.

Purée soup using a handheld blender, or in batches in a standard blender, and return soup to pot. Stir in cream; season soup with salt and pepper. Garnish servings with celery leaves and celery seeds.
