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
- Melt butter in a stock pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and celery, cooking until lightly browned and onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in cubed potatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat to cool for 2-3 minutes. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or transfer in batches to a standard blender, taking care with hot soup.
- Return the blended soup to the pot. Over medium-low heat, stir in whole milk and heat until the desired temperature is reached.
- Serve the soup warm with toppings like chopped parsley, croutons, cheese, or crumbled bacon.
Notes
Feel free to substitute chicken broth for a non-vegetarian version.
Adding herbs like thyme or chives can enhance the flavor further.
This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
