1 garlic clove, minced
1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed
1 stalk celery, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth

Mash or blend the vegetables to smooth the soup out (I used an immersion blender).

It doesn't have to be totally blended, but some mashing or blending is recommended.
