Except for me leaving the house to go to work that's pretty much what I

You will, by now, have seen that I was reminded that scampi is also the 
Nephrops Norvegicus (Norway lobster). Still, the sauce is what makes it 
scampi AFAIAC.   Bv)=

The tomatoes are easy - so long as you own and can operate a tin opener.  
Bv)= And I likes tomatoes - it's a darned poor cook who can't suit 
himself.

You guys, it seems, are in for another major winter storm. They are 
ready for it in Atlanta this time. This might be good for being stuck at

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Creamy Celery Soup
 Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Poultry, Dairy, Herbs
      Yield: 4 servings

      3 tb Butter; divided 2 Tb - 1 Tb
      1 c  Chopped onion
  1 1/2 c  Sliced leeks; white, and lt
           - green only
      5 c  Chopped celery
           +=AND=+
  1 1/2 c  Diced celery
      2 cl Garlic; minced
      2    California bay leaves
      4 c  Chicken stock
    1/2 ts (to 1 1/2 ts) salt; to taste
    1/3 c  Cream or Half & Half
           Fresh ground black pepper
           Fresh chopped chives or
           - parsley; garnish

  Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a thick-bottomed 4 to 5 quart pot on
  medium heat. Add the diced onion, the leaks, and 5 cups of
  the chopped celery. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes
  until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for a
  minute more.

  Add the chicken stock and bay leaves to the pot. Taste for
  salt and add salt. (If you are using unsalted butter and
  unsalted stock, you will need to add more salt than you
  expect, if not, maybe just a little salt will be needed.)
  Increase heat to bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and
  cover to maintain a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.

  While the soup is simmering, prepare the extra celery that
  will be added later to the soup. In a separate small sautO
  pan, melt 1 Tbsp of butter on medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups
  diced celery to the butter. Ladle 1/2 cup of the simmering
  stock from the soup pot into the sautO pan. Simmer on low
  for 5 or 6 minutes to soften the celery. Set aside.

  Remove the soup pot from heat, let cool slightly. Remove
  and discard the bay leaves. Working in batches, purOe the
  soup in a blender, filling the blender no more than a
  third full at a time (keep your hand on the lid so the hot
  liquid doesn't explode). Return the purOed soup to the
  pot. Stir in the cream and the braised diced celery.

  Taste for salt and add more if needed. Sprinkle with
  freshly ground black pepper and chopped chives or parsley
  to serve.
