dump everything in the pot. i dont generally keep milk in the house, so i buy heavy cream and freeze it in ice cube trays. each one measures about one tablespoon. then i dump them out of the ice cube trays into a zip lock bag and help myself to a couple whenever a recipe calls for milk. this recipe calls for milk, so i added the cream cubes. you can see the frozen celery as well.

because i dont do pepper of any kind, i add ham flavored soup base (like bouillon)
