Cecilia's choice of comfort food may be surprising, but you'll quickly discover just how much this simple soup is hiding. Here's a hint... it's all scrumptious! Cecilia's Creamy Celery Soup is, of course, creamy and refreshing with the mild flavor of celery elevating each bite. With the added savoriness of beef bouillon and sharpness of some Mexican cheese, Cecilia's Creamy Celery Soup is just so wonderfully hospitable. It's like pulling up a comfy chair and just enjoying life... and in fact, that might be the best way to eat it!
