Prepare the veggies. Chop the celery, dice the onion, and grate the tomatoes.
In a deep saucepan, warm up olive oil then add the chopped celery, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for up to 5 minutes or until the onions are tender.
Add the grated tomato and season with black pepper and paprika then let the tomatoes simmer for 5 minutes with lid off.
Add the chicken broth and let the soup simmer for up to 5 minutes. Do a taste test and adjust where necessary. If the tomatoes are too acidic add a teaspoon of sugar or honey. Your tomato celery soup is ready to be served.
