Celery might not get as much attention as other vegetables, but it deserves a little more credit. It adds a fresh, savory flavor and satisfying texture to soups, salads, stews and so many everyday dishes.

I especially love using celery as part of a flavorful vegetable base. It pairs beautifully with onions, garlic and carrots and can quietly make a dish taste so much better.

One of my favorite ways to use it is in my Lazy Day Creamy Veggie Soup, where celery joins onions, garlic, carrots, zucchini and cauliflower for a creamy, comforting bowl of goodness.
