This Cream of Celery is wonderful eaten hot or cold. My mom used to make a version of this when I was little, and although it sounded like nothing, it was always so savory and velvety, always a treat. This version uses coconut milk and it gets as tasty as the original. The addition of fennel seeds really makes this soup stand out.
