(I assume that the reposting of my entire 40-line recipe in front of a
2-line question about its ingredients was an accident involving the use of
stupid posting software so I won't flame about it)

When making soup, a "stalk" of celery is however much celery you would like
it to be, and "2 stalks" is twice that much. Soup is remarkably resilient to
errors  in the amount of celery. When I make that pea soup recipe I grab the
bunch celery from the fridge, pull 2 of the arms from it, chop them, and put
them in the soup. The length of the arms depends on how many tuna sandwiches
and peanut-butter celery sticks have been made from that bunch of celery. It
doesn't matter to within a factor of 5 how much celery you use.
