Ingredients

    - 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
    - 4 cups chopped celery, raw
    - 3 cups water
    - 1/4 tsp salt
    - 2 tbsp butter, salted
    - 1 heaping cup finely minced raw onions
    - 1 heaping cup very finely minced raw celery
    - 1 tsp celery seed
    - 1 cup warmed milk, nonfat
    - white pepper to taste
    - 4 to 5 tbsps sour cream, half and half or heavy cream (optional for a richer tasting soup)
    - freshly minced chives and/or parsley for garnish


Directions

1) Place potatoes, 4 cups of celery, water and 1-1/4 tsp salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn the heat way down and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes until everything is soft. Puree and transfer to a larger saucepan or a kettle.

2) Melt butter in a small skillet. Add onion, finely minced celery, celery seed plus 1/2 tsp salt. Saute about 8 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add to puree.

3) Stir in remaining ingredients except garnish. Heat gently (don't cook or boil) and serve topped with something minced and green.
