Fry finely chopped celery gently in butter (a whole head and the leaves), add an onion, don't let it colour, until soft. Add 2 pints of chicken or vegetable stock and two finely chopped medium potatoes (peeled). Boil until potatoes are cooked. Whizz up and there you go, add a bit of milk or cream if you like. Season hugely with salt and pepper! xxx
