Celery Carrot Soup

Salt to taste but not really necessary. Sour cream can be used instead of cream cheese. Proportioned fresh seasonings/herbs can be used if preferred. Usual ratio is 3 to 1, fresh to dry, so 1 tablespoon fresh equals 1 teaspoon dry or 4 to 1 fresh to ground. Celery can be increased up to 3 cups. Great way to use older celery that isn’t as crisp anymore.
