Well, now, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ hearty and easy to make, let me tell ya, this cream of celery soup with macaroni is just the thing! It’s got that creamy, rich taste that’ll warm yer belly up right. It’s real simple too, don’t take much time to whip up, and when you’re done, it’s all cozy-like. So, grab yer apron and let’s get to it!
Now, first thing’s first, we need to get the ingredients ready. I ain’t one for long lists of fancy stuff, so here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 bunch of celery (fresh as can be, from the garden or the store)
- 1 cup of macaroni (don’t matter if it’s elbow or something else, just what you like)
- 1 can of cream of celery soup (I use the canned kind, it’s quicker, but you can make your own if you’re feelin’ fancy)
- Some butter (about 3 tablespoons, just enough to make things nice and smooth)
- 1 cup of milk (or more, depends how creamy you like it)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Some cheese (optional, but makes it real good if you add a little bit of shredded cheddar)
Alright, now that we got everything, let’s get started. First, you want to boil that macaroni. Just put it in a big ol’ pot with some water, and a pinch of salt. Cook it till it’s nice and soft, then drain it. Don’t let it sit in the pot too long or it’ll get all mushy. Once it’s drained, set it aside for a bit.
Next, take yer celery and chop it up. Don’t need to be too fancy with it, just cut it into little pieces, big enough to get a good bite but not so big you’re chewing all day. Put it in a pan with some butter, and cook it on low heat till it softens up real nice. Stir it every now and then, don’t let it burn!
Now comes the easy part. Add that can of cream of celery soup into the pot with the celery. Pour in the milk a little at a time, stirrin’ it so it gets nice and creamy. If you like it real creamy, add a bit more milk. Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good stir, and let it simmer on low for about 5 minutes.
Once that’s all heated through, toss the macaroni in there with the soup. Stir it up so everything’s mixed together nice and even. If you want, you can add a handful of cheese to make it even better, but that’s up to ya.
If you’re lookin’ to make it into a casserole, just pour the whole thing into a baking dish, top it with a little more cheese, and pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes. It’ll come out all bubbly and golden on top, just like a good casserole should.
And that’s it, folks! You got yourself a warm, creamy cream of celery soup with macaroni that’ll make everyone happy. It’s the perfect dish for a cold day or when you need somethin’ to fill ya up. Can’t go wrong with this one!
Now, you can get creative with it too! If you want, you can add some cooked chicken or ham to make it more of a main dish. Or throw in some other veggies like carrots or onions, whatever ya got in the pantry. But no matter how you make it, it’s sure to be a hit.
Hope y’all enjoy this recipe! It’s easy, tasty, and sure to keep ya full. And don’t forget, food tastes better when you share it with folks ya love. So, get in that kitchen and get cookin’!
