Notes
Doubling instructions: (I highly recommend doubling this recipe, especially if you have a lot of leftovers.)
Cook the onion and celery (in the butter) in a 12 inch deep-sided skillet so the onion can properly brown. While that’s cooking, fill a large stock pot with the chicken broth, half and half, fresh herbs and potatoes and set over medium high heat. After cooking the flour into the onion and celery, empty into the stock pot and whisk it in. Bring to a boil, cover, and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
