Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 1.5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 24 ounces vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces whole milk
Instructions
- In a stock pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onions and celery; cook until lightly browned and the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the cubed potatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender, or transfer it in batches to a standard blender, allowing steam to escape.
- Return the blended soup to the stock pot. Over medium-low heat, mix in the whole milk and gently stir until heated through to your liking.
- Serve the soup warm, garnished with your choice of toppings like chopped parsley, croutons, cheese, or crumbled bacon.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute whole milk with coconut milk or almond milk.
Adjust the seasoning to taste if you prefer a bit more flavor.
Top with your favorite herbs or spices for added flavor.
