Method
- Heat the butter in a large pan, add the onions and celery and cook for 10 minutes, until nicely softened.
- Add the thyme, potatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 30 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart when poked with a knife. Lift out and discard the thyme stalks. Using a hand-held blender, whizz until smooth.
