I think it would be more of a texture and an aromatic thing. I wanted to make sure the onions and celery had zero crunch to them in order to camoflage them to the veggie haters in my family. Plus I think that when you lightly saute onions or garlic it releases the flavor and softens them up a bit. <BR/><BR/>That being said if I was in a huge hurry I would definitely just throw it all in. <BR/><BR/>KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095440292412868263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583380673421512322.post-19413295080002966762008-12-11T20:14:00.000-06:002008-12-11T20:14:00.000-06:00Looks yummy!
