Celery is required for a good soup.
But as Woody said, you can use large chunks and take them out.

Man, it was extremely good this time around. Usually is, but I think the added blizzard outside made it divine.

texas chili is a requirement in blizzard days.

I hate celery.

I love a good chili on a cold day!

Chili and I don't like each other.....

So, more for you guys!

But we don't make a true Texas chili.

Ours has beans in it.

I always see beans in my chilli.

I think I just had one bad experience with chili and so...I just don't eat it. I never liked it too too much anyways. Nor did/do I like sloppy joes

True Texas chili has no beans.

Just ask the cowboys.

Nice outfit for your mule, Kat!

Give me some good Indian curry or Vietnamese pho or bun anyday!! :D

Just what is pho anyway?

I want curry too, but chili is chili. and chili does have beans in it! cowboys lived off beans, jean!!

I know that...but you go to any of the Texas chili cook-offs, and they will tell you that TRUE Texas chili has NO beans in it!

oooo bun! my fave!

Bun?

Favorite bun?

I rarely see chili without beans.

did linn lose her mind...again?

it's pronounced boon
it's like cold rice noodles with carrots, sprouts, cabbage or lettuce and like lemongrass cooked beef or chicken

are we talking about soup?

Never heard of it...but it sounds good!

Mmmmm it's a noodle bowl. Not soup. SO GOOD! I Should make it again

I like oodles of noodles...

I like noodles, but I like rice more.

Oh man, either or. I love rice and noodles. And just carbs in general....It's why I'm curvy!!!! That and my genes I guess..... but dang it! food is so tasty!

Carbs is sugar = bad stuff for Jeanne.
