Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large kettle or pot, combine the peeled and sliced potatoes, diced carrots, diced celery, and 2 quarts of water.

  3. Drain the vegetables, reserving the cooking liquid, and set the vegetables aside.
  4. In the same kettle, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent.
  5. Stir in the salt and pepper, then gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Gently fold the cooked potatoes, carrots, and celery back into the creamy sauce.
  7. Add reserved cooking liquid, one cup at a time, until the soup reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Heat through gently without boiling, then serve warm.
