Homemade Tomato and Celery Soup Makes a Filling Dish

Nothing warms the soul quite like a bowl of homemade soup on a chilly day. And when that soup is made with hearty tomatoes and crisp celery seasoned to perfection, the result is nothing short of heavenly.

With just a few ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you'll be cozying up with a steaming bowl of goodness in no time. So put on your aprons and let's get cooking!

I am not a big fan of canned soups, especially condensed ones. Making soup at home is so easy, usually healthier, and the taste is so much BETTER.

This recipe is a spin off of a braised celery recipe I made recently. We were in the midst of a week-long rain pattern and I wanted a little bit more comfort instead of a healthy side dish. Same great taste and still healthy, even with the pinch of brown sugar.
