Cooking with Celery

When my sister-in-law told me that she often cooks celery, I looked at her incredulously. I had never heard of cooking celery before. We just eat it raw!

It’s a don’t know it until you try it sort of recipe!

Ways to Cook with Celery

Here are the directions from my sister-in-law in England.

Steam the celery.  
Then open a tin of Campbell’s condensed celery soup. When I made it, I used a can of Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup.

Condensed soup is required otherwise the whole thing is rather runny.

Put the soup in a pot (do not dilute it with milk or water), heating it through, adding the steamed celery cut into bite sized pieces.

When I made it, I put the soup and the celery (which I did not steam) into a casserole dish and put it in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes – until heated through.

Because I didn’t steam the celery first, it was a bit crunchy. But, we liked it that way!

This is great served on the side and especially over baked potatoes!

Give cooked celery a try!
