Potato Soup Recipe
1 small onion, minced (I like Vidalias when they are in season)
1 rib celery, minced
½ cup butter
2 cups chicken stock (vegetarians may use water or veggie stock)
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups half and half
Crumbled bacon, for garnish
Shredded Cheddar cheese, for garnish
Chopped green onions, (optional) for garnish
Sauté onion and celery in butter until tender. Add chicken stock and potatoes and boil until potatoes are tender. Pour contents of pot into a blender, (I'm convinced the use of the stick blender, or it is sometimes called an immersion blender, is the real secret to this wonderful soup) and puree until mixture is completely smooth, with no lumps. Add half and half until soup is of a thick, creamy consistency. Return to pot, heat, but do not boil, garnish, and serve immediately
