It’s winter so I find myself eating more soups and stews. They can be so good on a cold day.
But IMO celery tastes horrible and only subtracts from the flavor of soup by covering up other flavors. Why is it such a common ingredient? Do people actually like enjoy or is it serving some other purpose?
(Yes I avoid it in other foods too. Not to go off topic but water chestnuts are a fantastic substitute if you like the crunch. Try them instead of celery next time you make stuffing.)
I like celery. I add it when making stock (both ribs and leaves), chop up a few ribs and cook it in soup with carrots and onion, and I like to eat it raw as a snack.
I’m asking why it’s in so many canned soups and restaurant soups and even recipes. By all means make whatever you like at home.
Popular foods at home are popular in the store and restaurants!

I believe the saying is: The plural of anecdote is not data.
I don’t think you’ll like the social sciences lol
Maybe a better way of saying it is that a set of bricks is not a house. The organization and methodology makes data more than just a collection of assorted incidents. That applies even in social sciences.
