Notes

Soup Variations

Try using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
This is to replace a condensed canned version of soup. If you want to use it as a soup, thin it out by adding extra milk or broth.Cornflour can be used instead of plain flour.
Unsalted butter can be used, though you may want to add about ¼ tsp of salt.
One onion diced can be added to the saucepan with the celery.
4 garlic cloves minced, can be also added to the saucepan with the celery.
Fresh herbs and spices can also be added.
This soup can also be used as a base for other 'cream of' soups - just substitute the celery with things such as diced mushrooms (½ cup), asparagus, cheddar cheese ( 1 cup shredded) diced potato or even broccoli.
