For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken stock, use plant-based milk, and use vegan margarine or olive oil. For a richer flavor, sauté the celery, carrots, and onions in butter or olive oil before adding the chicken stock. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce can add an interesting twist to the flavor profile. Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
