Instructions
- Place butter, onion and celery in a large pot. Cook over medium heat until tender without browning, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add potatoes to pot with broth. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Using a hand blender, blend soup until very smooth. Add cream, lemon juice, and seasoning to taste. Simmer 2-3 minutes.
- Optional: For a smoother soup, strain through cheesecloth to remove any stringy celery bits if desired.
- Stir in herbs and garnish with a drizzle of cream if desired.
Notes
- Garnish: I love to add fresh dill, croutons, and a drizzle of cream for serving.
- fresh dill, croutons, and a drizzle of cream for serving.
- For more texture: For chunkier soup, remove some of the celery and potato pieces before blending and chop them a bit. Add them back to the blended soup.
- Consistency: If the soup is too thick, add a little more cream (or broth) and stir thoroughly.
- For smooth and silky soup, strain the blended soup through cheesecloth to remove any stringy bits. If we're eating it ourselves, I don't usually bother but for guests, we like to strain it.
