Note: Most people call a rib of celery a stalk. But this is incorrect, according to the people who care about this type of thing. Really, a stalk of celery consists of a bunch of individual ribs. The ribs are then separated for use in recipes.

I always called it a "bunch" of celery when it was the whole package of celery.

Hi, Tracy! Well, will wonders never cease...all these years I've been eating ribs of celery and I thought I was eating stalks. Thanks for clarifyng this. It's a little thing, but it's good to know, especially with cooking. Hope it's a good day for you! Sue Report Inappropriate Comment |
Today I wanted to empty the veggies out so I can start fresh so I made some soup
3 sweet potatoes peeled and cut up in chunks (they will cook down and the soup does)
6 carrots
1 stalk of celery
8 cloves garlic
chicken bouillon/broth
I had some sweets that were cut up and left over from Easter- they were in the freezer so... I put 2 quarts of water in a pot added the sweet potatoes. The garlic is also in the freezer so I tossed the garlic cloves (peeled) in whole. While this was cooking I peeled and chopped my carrots and added them next. THen I chopped up the celery and the leaves as well.. added this then added a little bouillon until it had the right taste. COoked it about 30 minutes and It was awesome!
You can add other herbs and stuff but I wanted to leave it plain in case I would add it to something else later. I added fresh cracked pepper to the bowl I ate.
It was a rainy icky day so soup was what fit!
Hope you enjoy-- I was going to add string beans but tomorrow I will make string beans, onions, and tomatoes (and garlic)
I love my veggies!

Looks great, Tracy! Watch the salt content in the bouillon. Have you thought about making your own stocks and broths and freezing them? That way you would have soup base on hand and it could be low-sodium or even sodium-free. Soup is great, one of those things that seems to taste better every time you reheat it. Good for you for thinking thrifty and healthy, and making the most of a rainy day. Loads of vitamin A in those sweet potatoes. I'm so proud of you for planning, staying healthy, and keeping your outlook positive. Kara Report Inappropriate Comment |

Sounds and looks so yummy! I love soup, especially home-made. I'm missing it right now because I was diagnosed with high-blood pressure and I'm really trying to watch my sodium intake. But I'll be looking foward to whipping up a pot of veggie soup when things are under control.

Take care. 
HAIR!!!
for you my friend. If I have go without chocolate, 
then you MUST go without the KFC.
while going to college and she reassured me it was okay. She said " Well it would take an idiot to know you were not sleeping with Ricky" 
. Then she went on to say, "Well it runs in the family" Well I knew mother was pregnant when she married my stepfather but Nana let it out of the bag she and my dad also were with my brother when they married. Well I felt better and knew it would be more accepted. I have not been a perfect mother but I feel I did a pretty good job. MY daughter turned out pretty good. She is my only child and I cherish her. She is my joy. I tell kids all the time when they say bad things about their parents..."You may not agree with what they say or do but generally it is because they don't want you to make the same mistakes they have made" There are so many out there who do not have their mother's who wish they still did and there are some whose children do not treat their mothers right. Today, being my Nana has been gone for about 5 years and I do not have a relationship with the woman who gave birth to me, I gave my neighbor lady a hanging plant for Mother's day figuring her kids would forget her (I was right) She was so touched and kept kissing me. One hand washes the other.. she is always making me stuff to eat and I do the same. She is a great lady and I am glad I could make her day..
