Ingredients:

2 stalks celery, chopped

1/2 c half and half or milk
Water

Directions:
Directions:
Saute onion, carrot and celery in butter in a large pot that will hold the entire mixture. Once softened, add potatoes, then add just enough water to cover vegetables. Gently boil for one hour. Using an immersion blender (or a potato masher), puree/mash vegetables into soup until mostly smooth. Add half and half or milk and salt to taste. If mixture is too thin, instant potato flakes can be used to thicken. Just add a little at a time in order to prevent the soup from becoming too thick.

Personal Notes:
Grandma Yelton made the best potato soup. It took Mom a while to come up with a recipe with a similar taste and consistency and now the torch has been passed to Bill, who also makes a delicious potato soup that is reminiscent of Grandma's. While many recipes for potato soup are based on a milk-based thin broth with chunks of potatoes, Grandma always started with water and added just a touch of milk at the end and then thickened it, if needed, with instant potato flakes.
