Introduction

This soup is delicious and satisfying on a cold winter day! You can forgo the celery seed if you like less celery flavor, and also add salt to taste, but it will change the sodium content in the nutritional information if you do.

Ingredients

    3 tbsp. unsalted butter
    1 cup chopped onion
    2 stalks celery, diced
    4 cups peeled, cubed all-purpose potatoes
    2 cups low fat/low sodium chicken broth
    1 tsp celery seed
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 cup fat free half and half

Directions

Add cubed potatoes to stock pot and cover with water. Boil potatoes in stock pot until tender, pour into colander and rinse with warm water. Allow to drain for a few minutes. While draining potatoes, in separate stock pot over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Add onion and celery and cook until translucent and soft, stirring frequently to keep from browning, about 8 minutes. Add 1 cup broth, celery seed, 1/2 of the potatoes, and black pepper. Take other half of potatoes and puree in blender with 1 cup broth until thick and creamy. Return potato puree to pot and stir well. Gently stir in fat free half and half until well blended. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes, gently stirring occasionally, until hot. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle top of each soup with about 1 tbsp snipped chives, if desired. Serve and enjoy! Makes about 4 one (1) to one and a half (1 1/2) cup servings.
