Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add celery and cook for 2 more minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until limp, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add potatoes and 3 cups water. Cook until potatoes are slightly soft, adding just enough water to keep potatoes and leeks covered, 20 to 25 minutes. Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. Add salt and pepper and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.

LOW FAT POTATO LEEK SOUP
This is the simple Potato Leek Soup I like to make in big batches the day after I roast a chicken. One chicken carcass usually yields about 8 cups of broth which works perfectly for this recipe. I developed it using inspiration from a few online recipes but deliberately took out the usual milk and reduced the butter. I also didn't want too many complicated ingredients to prepare - so kept the spices to a minimum. For safety you will need to use a pressure cooker if you plan to jar and preserve it.
