3 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut into ½-inch dice

2 stalks celery, sliced

1 large carrot, sliced

2 cups shredded green cabbage

1 cup unsweetened fortified soymilk or rice milk

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Combine potatoes, celery, carrot, and cabbage in a large pot with 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Transfer about 3 cups of the mixture to a blender. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Hold lid on tightly and blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds, then return to the pot and stir to mix. Heat gently before serving
