Happy Oktoberfest! I'm going to post some German / Polish / Bohemian recipes... some my mom makes, some I have stored away; don't have pics for them all, but I've cooked them all and can vouch for their tastiness! I love this food at this time of year; its the perfect warming yummy-for-the-tummy food!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 russet potatoes
1 medium yellow onion
4 celery stalks, with leaves
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 c milk
1/2 c half and half
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vegeta

Steps:

  • 1. Peel potaotes and chop into small cubes.
  • 2. Roughly chop onion and celery into medium-small chunks. In a sautee pan heated with the oil, add those vegetables and lightly sautee for about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Transfer veggies to a large pot and add just enough water to cover the veggies (about 2-3 cups water).
  • 4. Add salt, vegeta and mix. Add bay leaf. Let boil until vegetables are tender.
  • 5. Remove bay leaf. Drain vegetables, reserving the liquid. Mash veggies while slowly adding back half of the liquid to them. Add butter while mashing. Add milk and half and half until you reach the consistency you want.
  • 6. Lovely top top with some dill, parsley or rosemary when serving! Also good if you want to add some chopped kielbasa, or leave half of the potato cubes UNmashed.

This soup is now a staple in my household! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand. It's a great way to use up leftovers too.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra milk and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some chopped carrots or celery.

This soup was delicious! I made it exactly as the recipe said, and it turned out perfectly. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it needed more flavor. I might try adding some chopped vegetables or meat next time.

This soup was very bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still wasn't very flavorful. I think it would be better with some chopped vegetables or meat.

This recipe was easy to follow and the soup turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
