Recipe Requested What can I make with a massive amount of celery?

[Tristor]

I'm working on improving my knife skills and signed up for some video training, to practice it was recommended to use celery because it's cheap. Turns out, that's correct, it was about $1 per bunch, so I have 8 bunches to work through. After I'm done I'll have a whole lot of sliced and chopped celery, and I'd like to not waste it. I was thinking I could make a cream of celery soup from scratch, or something similar that would go through quite a bit. Suggestions?

Just Google celery recipes. Lots of suggestions. Waldorf salad, braised and so on

Sounds to me like you should also test out some carrot wedging, and some tip swipes on onions.....................there now go forth and make beautiful stocks with your mirepoix.

I'm usually not a fan of mayo, so I hadn't thought of Waldorf salad, but it's a classic and it's been a long time since I've made it. My mom used to make it all the time, so that I can do from memory without a recipe.

Celery tofu salad:

1. Blanch celery that's thinly sliced on bias.
2. Mix with julienned dry tofu (tofu gan)
3. Dress with sesame oil and salt

You can add touch of good soy, chili oil, peanuts, cilantro, leftover chicken or anything else you think will go well...

Option 1) Google search "Celery Soup" pick the recipe that looks the best.

Option 2) Buy a rabbit. Feed it the celery and other veggies to fatten it up, then eat the rabbit.
