Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, celery and saute over low heat until onions are golden. Add the celery leaves and sweet potato dice. Add just enough water to cover all but about 1 inch of vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then stir in bay leaves and seasonings.

Simmer gently, covered, until veggies are tender 25 minutes.

With slotted spoon, remove half of solid ingredients and transfer to food processor with 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Process until pureed, then stir back into soup pot. Add the milk as needed to achieve a slightly thick consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over very low heat for 10-15 minutes more.

Serve at once, or let stand off heat for 1-2 hours before serving.
