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.)
Water chestnuts are delicious though…so crunchy too
They don’t taste like yummy celery though, they taste like water chestnuts. Which don’t taste bad, it just doesn’t taste like celery.
Honestly they are usually in Asian foods Ive eaten and seem to only add crunch…but now I’m curious
