1 cup sour cream
1 cup milk
Chives, finely chopped (optional)
Put celery, carrots, onion, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in a stockpot and cover with broth. Cook until soft. Add potatoes and more broth to cover. Boil until potatoes are soft but not mushy (about 25 minutes). Whisk soup and sour cream in a bowl until smooth. Add to potatoes. Add milk until desired consistency. Stir lightly so as not to break up potatoes much. Garnish with chives, if desired.
Variations: Add 2 to 4 links of cooked sausage, cut into small pieces; add small pieces of cooked ham with the potatoes; garnish with bacon or paprika.
Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Substitute a sour cream-based ranch or onion dip for the sour cream. It also is very good when served cold like vichyssoise. Serves 8-10.
