Instructions to make Lee's Creamy Potato Soup:
  1. In a 6 quartl stock pot, sauté celery and onion in butter and olive oil until just tender. 5-7 minutes. Saute with a little salt and black pepper to taste. Add minced garlic towards the end.
  2. Add diced potatoes, chicken stock, milk, celery salt, and seasoning salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook until potatoes are fork tender. 13-15 minutes Do not bring to a full boil.
  3. When potatoes are fork tender, add half and half. Bring back to a simmer. Then add cornstarch slurry. (1⁄4 Cup warm water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch well blended, only if needed!!) Bring back to a simmer.
  4. Add cheese a little at a time and allow to fully melt. Use a simple hand held potato masher to get the consistency you want. Note: I do not recommend using a blender to get a smooth soup. It will turn into a glue.
  5. Adjust salt and pepper if needed. Add chopped celery leaves and enjoy. Garnish with bacon bits, sour cream, chives etc.

This potato soup has more flavor than any potato soup I have ever had. It is a bit salty due to the bouillon cubes but you can add more milk to dilute if you find it necessary. For less creamy and lower fat, use whole milk instead of half-and-half – still tastes great! Place bacon pieces in a large Dutch Oven or soup pot over medium heat and cook until bacon is crisp and browned. Remove bacon pieces and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
