Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 large carrots, chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes, chopped
  • 900 ml carton of chicken broth
  • 2 cups of milk
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Chop the carrots, onions and celery into similar size pieces.
  2. In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the onion, celery and carrots. Crush the garlic right into the pot. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the potatoes and thyme and give it a stir. I used the leaves off of a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme, but dried thyme works well too.
  5. Add the chicken broth, stir and then let it simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Puree until smooth with a large food processor or use a hand blender right in the pot.
  7. Add the milk, and then season with salt and pepper.
  8. Give it a stir and then heat it up again for serving.
