potato soup Ingredients:

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup milk or cream
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish

potato soup Instructions:

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the diced potatoes and vegetable or chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Use a potato masher or immersion blender to partially blend the soup. This will create a creamy texture while still leaving some potato chunks for added texture.
Stir in the milk or cream and continue to cook the soup over low heat for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the potato soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
