Potato Soup With Celery

Submitted by Mme M

"A simple, but good family favorite."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 onion
• 1 diced celery
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 8 medium peeled and diced potatoes, any type
• 1 pint water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1 pint low-fat milk

directions

1. Dice the onion and cook until soft in the butter. Add the diced celery and potato to the pot, add 1 pint water, or, better, just enough water to come up to the level of the vegetables. Bring to the boil, then simmer 10 minutes.
2. After 10 minutes, add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon parsley to the soup.
3. Add 1 pint low fat milk, or, better, enough to bring the liquid level to what seems reasonable to call a soup!
4. Simmer a further 5 minutes, but don't boil it!
5. Serve. You can microwave any leftovers.

I had half a celery sitting in the fridge and I wanted to make something with it before I go away today. So last night I wiped up this soup and it was delicious. I made a few changes just so I could use up things in the fridge. I used vegetable stock instead of water and I left out the milk because we didn't have some at home. Thank you Mme Melissa
