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.
