Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 large or 2 medium leeks, white and light green part only, cleaned and sliced (save the greens for another stock)
  • 6 celery stalks, sliced (about 3/4 pound – this measurement was more helpful as our CSA celery is not uniform size)
  • 1 medium-size russet potato, (about 10 ounces), peeled and diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and halved, green shoots removed
  • A bouquet garni made a bay leaf and a couple of sprigs each parsley and thyme, tied together ( I forewent the bouquet garni and added loose thyme and parsley leaves)
  • 7 cups chicken stock (to keep it vegetarian/vegan, veggie broth or water works too)
  • Kosher Salt and Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons walnut oil (in lieu of this, I sprinkled a little bit of pulverized walnut on mine)
  • ¼ cup very thinly sliced celery
  • chopped chives or chervil (optional)
