Recipe Ingredients
1lb potatoes
1 onion
2 sticks of celery
1½ oz butter
1½ pints of water or stock
½ pint milk
Salt and pepper
Preparation and cooking instructions
Begin by peeling, washing and then dicing the potatoes and
the onion and washing and dicing the celery.
Next melt the butter in a large pan and then add the potatoes,
onions and celery. Stir so that the vegetables are coated
with the butter. Then simmer very gently for about ten minutes
to allow the vegetables to soak-up the butter, but not to
brown, stir occasionally.
Now add the water and the milk and season with salt and pepper,
stir and simmer gently for approximately twenty-five minutes
or until the vegetables are tender. Then press the soup through
a sieve or purée in a blender.
Now return the soup to the pan, gently reheat and serve.
Just before serving, if liked, a little cream may be added.
