  1. This soup has outstanding flavor; I highly recommend you sprinkle a bit of Emeril's Essence seasoning on each serving. This recipe is a bit incomplete. I had to jump on the Food Network to get the quantity for celery (1/2 cup), and simmering time after it boils the first time (30 minutes). Definitely yummy though!
