Nancy I have had these recipes for soups for a long time and might sent them in

? cup chopped onion
1 stalk celery, chopped and I include the green leaves if any
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut julienne style
? teaspoon salt
dash pepper
Saut?the above ingredients. Always start with these ingredients. While
saut?ng, add the spice and vegetable suggested with the soup of your choice
below. Saut?2 to 3 minutes and then add 2 cups chicken broth. Simmer until
tender. Strain vegetables from broth and puree until desired consistency of
soup. Add back into broth and blend with 1 or 2 cup of half and half. Simmer
