Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 4 Medium green onions, sliced
• 1 Stalk celery, sliced
• 3 Medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
• 1.75 Cups vegetable broth
• 0.125 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1.5 Cups whole milk
• 0.5 Cups heavy cream
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) chives, minced

Steps

1. In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced green onions and celery, and sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Add the sliced potatoes, vegetable broth, and black pepper to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
3. Stir in the milk and heavy cream. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
4. Add the ground nutmeg and kosher salt, stirring to combine. Continue to cook over low heat until the soup is heated through, about 3 to 5 more minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly minced chives for a burst of color and flavor.
