Celery Soup Recipe
The familiar crunch of celery and its salty taste has made it a staple in soups and salads. It is a particular favorite in health food recipes, as celery is known to reduce blood pressure, balance the body’s pH levels, replace lost electrolytes, aid in bowel movements and contain several anti-cancer elements. It is a great source of nutrients such as vitamins and amino acids, and it has the bonus of providing a delicate flavor to any recipe, such as the one here, to warm the stomach.
