Russian Potato Soup

1. Saute veggies and garlic in butter for about 15 minutes.

2. Add water, bay leaf, and basil; simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender. 20 - 25 minutes.

3. Mash the veggies or process briefly in a food processor. Do not make it into a homogenous mix. You should still be able to discern separate ingredients and colors.

4. Add the chicken stock and optional meat. Heat and season with Worcestershie and paprika before serving.
