Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium potatoes, cut in cubes
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, cut in a large dice
6 stalks celery, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons flour
1 (5 ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Start boiling potatoes.
  • In a soup pot, saute the onions and celery over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes, until it is soft.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Add the flour and stir constantly for a minute.
  • Stir in the milk and vegetable broth; bring to a slow simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Add paprika and season with salt and pepper.
  • By this time, your potatoes should be done - you don't want them to be falling apart, but just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and divide in half.
  • Mash half of the potatoes and stir them into the soup. Simmer for another five minutes.
  • Add the remaining potato chunks, and adjust seasonings to taste - I added a bit more pepper and another dash of smoked paprika.
  • Serve with whatever toppings you like - bacon, fried onions, grated cheese, scallions, etc.
