My family loved it. I didn't have cream of celery, so I used 2 cans of cream of chicken and added in a little bit of celery salt. I also used a can of condensed milk instead of fresh and added a little water to make up the difference.

    When I made this soup for my very particular children, they all voted on the rating and I was surprised how high they rated it! This soup will be served frequently in my home!

    We liked this a lot. I added a little minced garlic and lots of pepper. Easy to make and very hearty. (No celery in the ingredients list so I just left it out.)
