What an easy and healthy soup! I used 1 teaspoon of olive oil and organic chicken stock. I found the fennel seed to be quite overpowering so I think that I would even cut it out next time and add more nutmeg. This is a very large serving and the whole thing counted as 6 WW pts! I tried using an immersion blender but had problems with the strings in the celery so I just used the blender. Made for my adopted chef for this round of Pick a Chef. Thanks Mestric Jester! :)

I like food! I like video games! I've never been able to combine the two successfully. I live in St. Catharines Ontario, and was taught how to cook by both my parents. I have been working on what I like to call "Quick and Dirty Recipes". They are recipes with very little prep time, and very easy to put together. They are also the kind of recipe you can do on a budget for only one or two people. Most of them you can prep for long before (as long as the cut food keeps) and just throw them together at a moment's notice.
