    You see so few recipes that feature Celery as the mail ingredient! We are on a Nightshade-excluded diet, so I would replace the Potatoes with some other starchy vegetable such as Sweet Potato or Jerusalem Artichoke. Would also use Whole Goat Milk instead of Half-and-Half. We will let you know how it turns out!
