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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion and celery, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the cubed potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives.

Step 9

Serve hot with whole-grain bread or a side salad for a hearty meal.
