In the mountain villages this soup was made with wild mountain celery, which is a type of lovage. The replacement ingredients in this recipe are close enough to the original, which I enjoyed a long time ago in a Valaisan village inn in Trient, while waiting for a rainstorm to pass.

Since there is a lot of sodium in celery and the Maggi seasoning is quite salty, watch the salt seasoning.
