Servings: persons

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 lb fresh celery, washed and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 medium baking potato, peeled and sliced
4 cups vegetable stock (home made if possible)
kosher salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste
Optional
1/4 cup creme fraiche

1
In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, heat the butter over low-to-medium heat.
2
Add the onion, garlic, and celery and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the onion is slightly translucent, stirring continuously.
3
Add the wine and cook for another minute or two or until the wine seems to have reduced by about half.
4
Add the stock and the potato. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the celery and potatoes are soft enough that they can easily be pierced with a fork. (Overcooking at this stage will not improve the soup, the vegetables do not need to be mushy.)
5
Remove from heat and puree in a blender, working in batches. Or, use an immersion blender right in the pot.
6
Return pureed soup to pot and bring to a simmer again, adding more stock to adjust the thickness if necessary.
7
Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
8
Optional: Stir 1/4 cup creme fraiche (or heavy cream) into the soup just before serving, or garnish each bowl with a swirl of creme fraiche or cream when serving.
9
Serve!
