Stir in next 5 ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes until celery is soft. Carefully process with a hand blender or in a blender until smooth (be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for processing hot liquids).

Chipotle chili peppers are smoked jalapeno peppers.

Be sure to wash your hands after handling them. Store leftover chipotle chili peppers with their sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.
