In a large pot, melt some butter and once it’s melted down, go ahead and add 3/4 cup of finely diced onion and 1/2 cup of finely diced celery. Cook them until they are nice and tender. Next, add the minced garlic and continue cooking them. Dump the diced potatoes right into the pot, then add 4 cups of chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Let it simmer just until the potatoes are nice and tender. After this, mash them with a potato masher, then set them aside over low heat.
