I loved this for its speed, simplicity and flavor. To make it fit into my diet, I used fat free half and half. I made 1/4 recipe which fed two amYummy! ply. This is a definite make-again. I served it with grilled chicken, Kentucky style green beans with hull-outs and potatoes cooked on top, and Asian slaw with Mandarin oranges.

This was very good. Very creamy. My friends both had seconds. I used half and half. I will probably add more celery next time.
