This is a tasty and healthy soup that was enjoyed by the whole family! Your directions are easy to follow and the end result is a creamy soup with a distinct and strong celery taste and just a hint of leek and garlic. Next time I think Ill reduce the amount of celery used and increase the amount of leek as I think that way the soup would taste even better for me. Being a vegetarian, I used veggie stock in place of the chicken stock. THANKS SO VERY MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Muddyboots! Made and reviewed for one of my babies during Fall PAC 09.
