From Huskies To Husbands

OK everyone I am posting this recipe as I originally designed it prior to needing to lead a dairy free life.  My DH loves this dish and to be honest so did I.  It tasted like eating a bowl of delicious buffalo wings without the mess of the bones and all!

I need some help!  Any ideas for substitutions on the cream of celery soup and ranch dressing seasoning?  I know that I can just substitute dairy free alternatives for the sour cream and cream cheese as well as the colby-jack cheese.  It is the soup and the dressing seasoning packet that have me stumped!
