Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 potatoes large, 3 peeled and sliced, 1 diced with skin on
  • 1 stalk celery sliced
  • 1 onion large, chopped
  • 1½ teaspoons margarine
  • ½ bay leaf
  • 1 can chicken broth 14 ounce
  • 1 teaspoon cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup green onion tops
  • as needed water

Method
 

  1. Peel and slice 3 large potatoes, and dice the remaining potato with skin on. Place the diced potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and simmer until tender.
  2. In a separate pan, sauté the sliced celery, chopped onion, and the 3 sliced potatoes in margarine until softened.
  3. Add enough boiling water to cover the sautéed vegetables, add the bay leaf, and cook until everything is very tender.
  4. Transfer the cooked vegetable mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot, add the chicken broth and the cooked diced potatoes.
  6. Add water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
  7. Serve hot, topped with cheddar cheese and garnished with green onion tops.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use olive oil instead of margarine and nutritional yeast in place of cheddar.
