Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 ½ cups celery stalks (chopped)
- leaves from the celery stalks (if you have them leftover)
- 6 cup vegetable broth (or chicken stock or broth- or water with 2 tsp of Better Than Bouillon)
- 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt to taste)
- ⅛ tsp black pepper (freshly ground to taste)
- ¼ cup cream (optional, or ½ cup/ 120 ml milk, or ⅓ cup/ 80 ml half and half)
Instructions
- Put the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, then add the onion and celery. Sauté for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often. You can cover the pot in between stirring.
- Add the celery leaves (if using) and cook for another two or three minutes.
- Add the broth to the onion and celery, and bring to a simmer.
- Next, add the chopped potatoes and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until potatoes are soft.
- Add some salt and pepper to taste. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender, or place in a traditional blender to puree until smooth. At this point, the soup is ready to eat. However, unless you follow a vegan diet, or someone in your family is lactose intolerant, I would advise adding one of the following, more or less, to your liking: ¼ cup heavy cream (60 ml), or ⅓ cup of half and half (80 ml), or ½ cup of milk (120 ml).
- You can serve the soup as is, or with croutons, if you like.
Notes
- As you can see from the photo in the post, my homegrown celery stalks are small and much more thin than store-bought celery, so you may need to use 1.5 or 2 cups of chopped celery if you use store-bought. This recipe isn't critical for measurements and cups are an awful way of gauging how much to use. I always recommend a scale.
