Can I ask a cooking question?

Hi, I wan't to make chicken soup today. John isn't feeling well & since we all have been told that chicken soup helps, I think we now believe it ourselves (it sorta 'feels' good). I have carrots but no celery in the frig. (& you know I can't drive to the store.) What do you think of green pepper? I also have a cucumber.

I would skip the cuke and go for the pepper. No celery powder or celery salt?

Lisa stopped at the store before coming home & bought me some celery.

Well that was mighty sweet of her. My mom use to freeze extra celery and use it for stews and soups.

Good idea mom.
