Chop Celery for Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Of course you always want to be careful not to cut yourself. There we go. Turn the pieces around, opposite ends as such, and I bet I can cut all four at once. Nice, big, cuts for soup, uh oh, I got ahead of myself, my celery didn't move with my hand. And uniformity's not a tremendous issue, you know, it's soup, it's not a piece of art. so there we go.
