You can crisp a few stalks back up in ice water if you think you will
soon use them in chicken or tuna salad, for crudite, stuffed celery, etc.

I think a little celery would bring out the flavor in your cauliflower
soup.

You can stuff a chicken with celery before you roast it. Add celery to
salmon or tuna patties. Make cream of celery soup.

Yes, you can freeze it and toss it into the next batch of stock.
