I have never been enamored with the taste of celery, be it the ugly tumorous looking celeriac root, or crispy and bright green stalks. For me it was an overbearing flavor that bullied all the others into submission and I tolerated it only in minute amounts or as an add-on to a really special Bloody Mary. But the first time I made Cream of Celery soup, under duress and very reluctantly, I had to admit I was smitten with its subtle and seductive taste. This soup will seduce the most stubborn of celery haters, I promise you:)
