This was just the recipe I needed for some celery in the fridge that was getting "tired." I substituted chicken bouillon and ground ginger and threw everything in the pressure cooker after sauteeing. The soup is aromatic and beautifully yellow, and the taste--I want to eat this all day! I didn't want to change the flavor by adding hot sauce, just a little black pepper on top before serving.

This was a good and different tasting soup. I used the vegetable broth instead of water. The turmeric gives it a special unique taste. Me and hubby really liked it and I'll be making this one again. Hopefully, it will help with the achy joints!! Made for Zaar Newest Tag Game 2011.
