Well, the cupboard was bare agin, and on a wintry Saturday night, i didn't feel like taking the drive to the Big Smoke to get some take away (The Big Smoke being our small local town of Bunyip, that's 12 mins away).And i'd already opened a nice bottle of wine...

What's in the garden was some healthy looking celery and some spring onions, in the fridge were some scraps of bacon and ham, and i'd just bought a big bag of local spuds. Altogether i thought it would make a nice soup. Celery bacon and potato chowder to be exact.
