Ingredients:
\n 4 tablespoonsunsalted butter
\n 3 pounds(about 20 stalks) celery, chopped
\n 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
\n 1\/2 teaspoonkosher salt, plus more to taste
\n 5 cupschicken stock
\n 1\/2 cuppesto<\/p>\n
Directions: <\/p>\n
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot, add the butter.
\nCook the butter over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter begins to brown. First it will foam up, then the foam will subside and the solids at the bottom will begin to take on color. Watch for flecks of amber that begin to darken; this will take about 5 minutes. Stop just before the butter turns deep golden-brown\u2014you want it a little more pale than usual, since you\u2019re going to carry on cooking.
\nTurn the heat down to medium, add the celery and potato, and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the celery begins to soften.
\nAdd the chicken stock; simmer for about 20 minutes.
\nUse an immersion blender to blend the soup to a creamy texture. (You can also do this in a blender\u2014just be careful transferring the hot liquids, and do it in batches.) Taste the soup and add salt as needed.
\nDivide between bowls and swirl a generous spoonful of pesto into each bowl. Serve warm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
