  1. I was desperate to use up a wilting head of celery and I'm glad I stumbled upon this recipe! Since hubby and I are on a low-fat diet, I decided to cut way back on the butter and I also omitted the salt as I thought the chicken broth was salty enough. A generous spoonful of Mrs. Dash rounded things out with the herbs and we thoroughly enjoyed the end result! From now on I'll be going out of my way to buy celery as I'll be adding this side dish to my permanent collection. Thanks for posting, lazyme! :)
