  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      medium        Potatoes -- cut into chunks
   4      cups          Chopped celery
   3      cups          Vegetable stock
   1      teaspoon      Salt -- less if using salted
   1      teaspoon      Vegetable oil
   1      cup           Finely chopped onion
   1      cup           Minced celery
   1      teaspoon      Celery seeds

                        -----FOR GARNISH-----
                        Parsley or chives

 Place potatoes, celery, stock & salt in a large pot & bring to a boil.
Cover & simmer for 15 minutes or unitl vegetables are soft
. Puree & return to pot (optional, I prefer leaving whole).

 Heat oil & fry the onions & minced celery for 8 to 10 minutes,
 unitl they are just tender.  Add to puree.

 Stir in remaining ingredients, using enough stock to make the required consistency
 according to taste. Check seasonings & heat carefully.
