A warming and nourishing soup. Equally good for when it's cold outside or when you have a cold inside. Don't stint on the celery. You will not taste in strongly in the soup. However, the flavour will be lacking if you omit it. The corn stock is worth making as adds a sweet flavour but can be omitted and replaced with water if you are in a hurry.
