My neighbor regularly offers me some of her chicken salad (I like it on crackers), so I know she usually has celery around. I use it so rarely it always goes bad before I can make more than one recipe (I'm not particularly fond of it, but the flavor is part of some dishes, so I don't just eliminate it.) I'll ask her if I can get a couple of the individual stalks and make another batch of Pasta e Fagioli. I have everything else in the pantry or freezer, and I have some beef broth I made a few days ago I want to use. In hot weather, sometimes a bowl of soup and a slice of bread is all you need for a meal.
