I originally posted this subject, and I wanted to say to you all that
I really enjoyed your answers, that was fun. And lots of great soup
ideas.

We're back in the deep freeze today, I made myself some cream of
potato and celery soup (translation: whatever I could find that I
had in the house). Came out great, but it's not really a recipe.
Just winged it.

Cubed Yukon Golds, some chopped up celery (leaves included), chopped
up onion, chicken stock. Threw in some dry dill and salt and pepper,
of course. Simmered until the vegetables were soft, maybe 15 minutes.

The heavy cream sure helped it along, but I add that to the bowl, not
the pot. Float a nice pat of butter on top and I was happy.

Of course I conveniently forgot the step where I gave the soup a
whiz with my immersion blender, not too smooth, but smooth enough.

Yesterday, my stepson gave me a hand to make a vichyssoise. We had
leeks and potatoes and green onions, so it was a natural choice,
weather notwithstanding.
