*contemplating*

So, I'm stuck with 2/3 of a cup of heavy cream, left over from the polenta I made last night. I'm thinking of using it to make clam chowder, but I have a quandary: every recipe I'm finding calls for throwing celery in it. I hate celery. Super hate it. An overabundance of celery often causes me to reject otherwise good foods, clam chowder included. Can I get away with making this soup but skipping the celery? Hmm...

I say go for it. (I don't like celery that much either, but isn't a food dealbreaker.)

I've never heard of clam chowder having celery. And seeing as it's my favorite soup, I've eaten a lot of it. So, go without and good luck in cooking it.

Agree with everyone above! I would never miss celery in clam chowder. I often cut out ingredients I dislike in a lot of recipes (eg celery) and it's been okay.
