What do I do with a massive nice celery that I got in my fruit order?
I have no idea how to use it before it goes bad.
Any suggestions welcome
(and no, we can't eat it w/ peanut butter, my son is allergic!)

use it in your chicken soup! At least some of it. (the leaves especially give good flavour).
Some of the stalks u can use in a salad.
The stalks are also good with cream cheese.

it has a very strong flavor cooked, so be vcareful in soup. it's also good in stir fries and salad, but again use just a small amount.
maybeyou'd prefer to return it, if your son is really allergic to it....it'll last a long time, but why bother?

celery is awesome and it tastes great in soup, and sauteed. here is one stuffing I make
celery chopped fine
mushrooms chopped fine
cilantro chopped fine
parsley chopped fine
salt, pepper
bread crumbs
some cumin
some hot paprika
a bit of garlic
lemon juice
cook all of that in a sauce pan with some oil, until the flavor comes out and untill it cooks through a bit.
stuff eithr chicken breast, artichoke hearts, zucchini, or tomatoes. you can make a sauce for it as well.

chop it up and freeze it in a ziplok bag. then just take out as much as you need for any cooked dish calling for chopped celery--soup, sauces, eggplant dishes, casseroles, whatever.

dh doesn't like mushroom sauce (or anything w/ mushrooms) so I sometimes make 'celery' sauce to serve over steak, turnovers etc. I think the recipe calls for a whole bunch of celery. I divide it up in 5 oz cups & store in the freezer. It's basically saute'd onions, celery & red pepper (very small pieces) add salt & spices & some flour for consistency... yum!

I hate celery! I feel like it's such an unnecessary veggie, it has no flavor and is such a nuisance to eat in soups (especially when people don't cut it into small pieces).

chen, you can really freeze celery?  I would think it would get ruined in the freezer.

I maintain she should return it, why take up freezer space for something she doesn't even want.

Not at all, any more than any other soup veggie. You can't thaw it and use it in salad--you can't do that for any veg frozen raw--but you can certainly use it in cooking. don't thaw first--throw in the pot straight from the freezer.

Chen, defrosted, frozen brocc is great in salads.
I use the Calif mix often in pasta salads, too,. (defrosted from frozen)

I saute celery with onions and carrots in a big pot. Freeze in small containers. Then when I want to make a lentil or bean soup, I just dump in the frozen veggies, add water and spices and it's the easiest thing.

I most respectfully disagree!!! I always have celery on hand, and I put tons of stalks in the soup, I think it gives the most amazing flavor! I think it's just as important as carrots in the coup, even. I do not cut it up into pieces before serving, and I know what you mean-- it gets stringy and soft and a little hard to eat when served in soup, but I love it regardless!!
