-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 cups water

6 medium russet potatoes (unpeeled) -- (Divided:

8 cups finely diced potatoes -- and

4 cups chopped potatoes -- 3/4-inch cubes)

3 cups thinly sliced leeks -- wash well

(use both green and white parts)

3 cups chopped celery stalks -- (3 to 3 1/2)

Leeks have a delicate, mild onion flavor that enjoys the company of potatoes.

Easy. COOKING TIME: 45 min. MAKES: 4 quarts.

 

1. In a 5- or 6-quart pot, bring to a boil: water, diced potatoes, leeks, and

celery. Simmer, covered, until potatoes are very tender and begin to dissolve,

about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

 

2. Add butter, cubed potatoes, garlic, dill, basil, and celery seed. Simmer,

covered, until potato cubes are just tender. Turn burner to lowest heat.

 

3. In blender, blend the sour cream with just enough soup broth to make a smooth

paste. Stir into soup. Season with Spike and sea salt, to taste, and adjust

other seasonings if desired. Heat gently just until very hot, but not boiling.

Serve.
