Creamy Celery Soup - Sellerikeitto

When looking yet again at the sad bunch of celery remaining in the vegetable locker of the fridge, I keep wondering why they don't sell it in smaller quantities. The standard sold size is about 500 g and it comes readily packed so not even the shops can influence that. Most of the recipes say "2-3 stalks of celery" at the most, so what to do with the rest of the ten stalks... I find celery quite strong and I don't enjoy eating it raw in great amounts, but I find it gives an exceptionally good taste to broths, soups and sauces (and what would mirepoix be without it...). You can imagine how happy I was to find this recipe: no more sad celeries at the vegetable locker!
