Semi-homemade cream of celery soup is a dish that combines pre-made or store-bought
ingredients with fresh ones to create a creamy, flavorful soup. It typically involves
using canned cream of celery soup as a base and enhancing it with fresh celery, 
onions, garlic, and herbs. These fresh ingredients are sautéed and then added to
the canned soup, along with milk or cream and seasonings, to enrich its flavor and
texture. The result is a comforting, homemade-tasting soup that’s easier and quicker
to prepare than making it entirely from scratch.

This almost homemade (semi-homemade) soup is one, which I have prepared from time
to time over the years. This approach is a quick and easy way to dress up an ordinary
can of cream of celery soup.

# Cooking Process

 * In a tablespoon of butter or your favorite cooking oil saute onion and celery(
   see measures below), over medium heat, until they are tender and the onions are
   translucent :
    - 1/4 to 1/2 cup of diced sweet onion or shallots, according to taste
    - 4 to 6, diced, celery sticks
 * Add condensed cream of celery soup
 * Replace can of water to be added to whole milk
 * To increase the volume of soup, I usually, add a second can of milk (Optional)
 * Add 1 teaspoon of whole celery seeds  (optional)
 * Simmer until ingredients have combined, then either serve or refrigerate for 
   later use.

# Notes

 * We frequently prepare this on Sunday and reheat it in the microwave during the
   week as a quick and easy dinner starter.
