Foodie Friday- Creamy Potato Soup

Growing up in an Irish Family means having our share of potato soup, especially during Lent. This is one of my favorite recipes. Hope it keeps your family cozy!

Creamy Potato Soup
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 stalk of finely chopped celery
1 can (14 oz.) chicken broth
1/8 tsp. pepper
3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 cups milk

Melt butter in saucepan. Add onions and celery and cook until tender. Add broth, pepper, and potatoes. Heat to a boil. Cover and cook over low until potatoes are tender. Blend the potato mixture and the milk in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to saucepan and heat through.

This is a great soup to add ham, bacon, or even sausage to.
