List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon margarine

4 medium celery stalks, chopped (about 2 cups)

1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)

3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 cups)

3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 cup evaporated skim milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg


Recipe



1. In a large saucepan, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion. Cook, stirring frequently until tender, about 7 minutes.

2. Add potatoes and broth to saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain vegetables, reserving broth in pan.

3. Place half of the vegetables in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until smooth. Add the vegetable purée, remaining vegetables, milk, salt and pepper to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Ladle soup into individual serving bowls. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
