- 1 yellow onion small, diced
- 1 celery stalk diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 russet potatoes medium, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

I am making this right now.. I didn't read the comments beforehand since i pulled the recipe from the cookbook. I used Non-Fat milk and I am at the four hour mark and so far no curdling here's hoping but it is very thin I am guessing that is the Non-Fat milk? And we didn't put the cayenne pepper in it since our baby will be eating it as well. But it smells amazing!!!!!
