Ingredients

1/4 Cup butter
1/3 Cup chopped onion
2 of celery, chopped ribs
3 Cup water
1/4 Cup flour
2 Cup cubed raw potatoes
1 Teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1/2 Cup milk
basil, chives, paprika, shredded cheese, optional for garnish

Instructions

In a large saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion and celery until tender. Gradually add water to the flour, stirring until smooth. Add flour mixture, potatoes, salt and pepper to the saute vegetables. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir in milk and heat through. Serve hot garnished with basil, paprika, chopped chives or shredded cheese. If a more smooth soup is desired, process at medium speed in a blender until desired consistency is reached. Yields 4 to 6 servings.
