It’s winter so I find myself eating more soups and stews. They can be so good on a cold day.

But IMO celery tastes horrible and only subtracts from the flavor of soup by covering up other flavors. Why is it such a common ingredient? Do people actually like enjoy or is it serving some other purpose?

(Yes I avoid it in other foods too. Not to go off topic but water chestnuts are a fantastic substitute if you like the crunch. Try them instead of celery next time you make stuffing.)

    This is the beauty of the Internet! And all of us on the other side can discover that some people like you don’t like celery in soup, which is an alien concept to many of us!

    Hooray mutual understanding! Thanks for posing the question.
