- 1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Steam potatoes until very tender.
- Peel and cut into bite-sized pieces when cool.
- Saute carrot, onion and celery in the margarine until crisp tender.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: For a decadent treat, top with crumbled bacon. Omit the bacon and bacon grease for a lower fat version.
