Ingredients

 

  • 1 cup finely chopped leek
  • 3 cups diced potatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

    Directions

    1. In a pot, gently fry the leek and celery in oil until soft.
    2. Add potatoes and broth, bring to boil.
    3. Lower temperature and simmer until potatoes are soft (10 minutes).
    4. Use a potato masher to partly puree the mixture so there are still some big chunks left.
