This recipe was delicious. I used one whole leek and a 32 oz. box of veggie broth in place of the chicken broth. I also sauteed the onion, leek and garlic per other reviews. I skipped the thyme because it's not our favorite seasoning. I would say not to skip the celery seed because it addsd a lovely celery flavor. Additionally, I used 1% milk in place of cream because I didn't have any and pureed the whole thing in the blender. It was great.
