Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion (diced)

  • 4 garlic cloves (chopped)

  • 6 cups celery (sliced thin)

  • 2 cups potatoes (sliced into ½” rounds)

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup water


  • 1 bay leaf (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

  • 1/4 cup dill (chopped)

  • 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)

  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and stir occasionally until golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. . Add the garlic and stir 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the celery, potatoes, broth, water, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and cayenne. If liquid does not cover the vegetables, add more water.

  3. r. Bring to a rolling boil. Turn heat down, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Turn heat off, remove bay leaf, and add dill and parsley.

  4. Use an immersion blender (or regular blender with batches) to blend the soup until silky smooth. For extra “green color” add a handful of raw spinach or more parsley.

  5. Place the mix back into the same pot over low heat. Stir in heavy cream and warm the mixture.
