Celery recipes

A velvety, elegant soup that puts celery front and center: a whole head of it slowly sautéed with onion and potato, then blended smooth and finished with a small amount of pungent blue cheese that melts into the base and deepens every flavor. This is a sophisticated first course or a satisfying lunch with crusty bread.

A Sichuan-inspired stir-fry that treats celery as the main event — cut into matchsticks, hit with high heat, and tossed with garlic, ginger, dried chilies, and a savory-sweet sauce. This is one of those recipes that seems too simple but delivers enormous flavor. Ready in 10 minutes, vegan, and completely addictive over steamed rice.
