It is good warm or cold…so you know, perfect for leftovers. You’ve got to give this try it’s one of my favorite food storage recipes! It has a little zip, a little zang, and a lot of taste!

Cream of Celery Condensed Soup: Magic Mix Food Storage Recipes
This soup is so great. I used it in my favorite casserole (Tuna Fish Casserole) and couldn’t believe how much better it was! Hopefully with these three soups (cream of chicken, mushroom, and celery) you can make any of your family’s favorite casseroles!
Condensed Cream of Celery Soup
1 C. Magic Mix
¾ C. Water from Cooking Celery
1 C. Chopped Celery, cooked and drained (I use dehydrated celery and use the water left over from hydrating the celery as my water)
Pinch of Celery Seed
1 t. Dry Parsley Flakes (optional)
Combine magic mix and water from cooking celery. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until it thickens. Add in celery, celery salt and parsley. Use in any recipe calling for canned Cream of Celery soup.
Now for a recipe to use the Cream of Celery…I know a lot of people use cream of mushroom in their tuna fish casserole, but personally I like the flavor of cream of celery a lot more. Give it a try!
Tuna Fish Casserole
3 Cans of Tuna, drained
2 Cans of Cream of Celery Soup
2 C. Grated Cheddar Cheese
12-16 oz. wide noodles, cooked
1 Bag of Peas
Mix together and put in microwave until mixture is warm put on cooked noodles.
