Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chives
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion and celery, and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Add the cubed potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through (do not boil).
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve hot with whole-grain bread or a side salad for a hearty meal.
