Directions

  1. Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add celery and cook for 2 more minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until limp, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and add potatoes and 3 cups water. Cook until potatoes are slightly soft, adding just enough water to keep potatoes and leeks covered, 20 to 25 minutes. Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. Add salt and pepper and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
