Celery Soup image

This soup was the appetizer for a menu that was emailed to me from Arcamax Chef. To make this diet friendly use fat free chicken broth and half and half. If you would like to avoid using alcohol substitute apple cider for the white wine. For a vegetarian version use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
