Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more if baking
  • 1 pound pre-cut celery sticks, diced (about 3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 (32-ounce) box low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons Lipton Recipe Secrets Savory Herb with Garlic Soup Mix (from a 2.4-ounce box)
  • 1 1/2 pounds bakery croutons (about 20 cups)

Instruction

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth and soup mix, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the croutons, and toss until all the croutons are evenly moistened.
  • If serving immediately: Cover and let the stuffing stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
  • If baking: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Transfer the stuffing to the dish, spread into an even layer, and dot with 2 tablespoons of butter that are cut into small pieces. Butter a piece of aluminum foil and cover the baking dish with it, buttered-side down. Bake until warmed through, about 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the top is crisp, 5 to 10 minutes more.
