Don't skip the 'hated' ingredient for the best chicken soup
Chicken soup: the best winter soup of all time? While I could very easily devour a bowl of any soup at any time in the colder months – leek and potato and minestrone are current favourites – a nourishing chicken soup always makes me feel instantly soothed in the winter months. Because it's cold and flu season, I always lean more towards broth-like chicken soups, but when a friend recommended me this old-school creamy chicken soup recipe I was hesitant to try it. Why? Celery. Celery: a divisive soup ingredient I've never been a celery fan. Hate's a strong word, but where celery's concerned, I think it's appropriate. Even as a kid I despised it, and now as an adult I'm quick to replace it or omit it from recipes altogether. Something about the grassy flavour, the bitter taste and the smell makes me want to run for the hills. What Australia thinks of celery in soup I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way. We asked our Facebook community whether they're fans of celery and we were met with decidedly mixed reviews. While some loved the taste, there were many who were very vocal about their opinions. Here's what they said: 'That's a no from me.' – Keryn 'Ohhh no no no… yuck.' – Lesley 'No, not a fan. It tastes horrible.' – Melanie In defence of celery in chicken soup Despite my celery concerns, the chicken soup recipe looked so hearty and delicious that I still thought it was worth a try – and I definitely trust this particular friend's food recommendations. Plus, the 4.8 star rating across over 70 reviews was pretty convincing: 'This one is a WINNER! Chicken dinner …. so nice. It's going to become a regular monthly meal.' – Vittoriasecrets 'Beautiful soup! Hubby is a soup fanatic and looooves this.'- doodooyang 'Really delicious recipe. First time making chicken soup and it turned out really well.' – GinaB Why you should put celery in your soup It was Amira, our Digital Food Director, who reassured me that not only will celery mellow when cooked in this recipe, but it's the celery that actually helps make the recipe taste as good as it does. She says: 'Celery is often used to make stocks and broths as it adds a mellow herbaceousness and helps balance flavours.' 'It's also always used in mirepoix (a mixture of onion, carrot and celery) as a flavour base for stews, sauces and soups.' Celery in chicken soup: the verdict I put my celery fears aside, listened to Amira, and made the recipe exactly. And you know what? She was right! Once the celery has done its job of adding flavour, all the lumps of used celery get discarded, and all you're left with is smooth, velvety, creamy chicken soup. Instant comfort! The recipe basically comes together in two steps: the flavouring of the stock and combining the cream. Step 1 Begin by creating the stock with chicken maryland pieces, liquid stock, onion, celery and leek. Simmer for about an hour to allow the flavours to develop and the chicken to cook. Once it's ready, remove the chicken to shred the meat and strain out any solids. Step 2 The next and final step is creating the cream base with butter, flour and pure cream. The two components are combined and the shredded chicken is returned to the pot to create a luscious creamy, rich and hearty soup. So step aside, minestrone, leek and potato and chicken broth. This is without question my new go-to winter soup recipe.

Local author scores big with latest effort
Meet Melanie Larson, a Saskatchewan-based children's author who has just released her latest book, 'The Day I Went to My First Football Game.' This 30-page heartwarming story follows two brothers as they experience their first-ever football game, bringing families together and celebrating the spirit of childhood wonder, brotherhood, and provincial pride. As a resident of the southwest Simmie farming area, Melanie draws inspiration from her surroundings and incorporates themes that reflect the beauty and uniqueness of Saskatchewan. Her books are designed to be both educational and funny, with the goal of showcasing the awesomeness of her home province. 'This book is a heartfelt tribute to Saskatchewan, to sibling bonds, and to those unforgettable 'firsts' that shape us,' stated Larson. 'It's a story that celebrates sports, community, and prairie heart.' Melanie's writing journey began when her oldest son was learning to count, and she wrote her first book using prairie items as a teaching tool. This initial project sparked a series of books that celebrate rural life, including the popular 'Adventures of the Barnyard Boys' series, which now includes 'The Day I Went to My First Football Game' as its fourth installment. The story is full of humor and relatable characters, with the dad often playing the role of the main foil, getting into silly situations because of the kids' actions. The book's colorful illustrations, courtesy of FX and Color Studio, bring the story to life and will delight readers aged 4-8 and fans of Canadian storytelling. While the book's protagonist wears green and white jerseys, symbolizing the province's beloved football team, Melanie notes that these colours are popular among many teams, making the story relatable and accessible to readers everywhere. Her dedication to creating engaging and educational stories has earned her a loyal following, and fans can look forward to upcoming projects, including a month-by-month farm book with real pictures and a story about a youth hockey tournament. 'The Day I Went to My First Football Game' is now available online at .It is also available at select stores and libraries across Saskatchewan and Alberta-making it the perfect gift for families to enjoy during the Canadian football season
