In large soup pot, saute chopped onion and celery in butter. Add baked potatoes with about 2 qt.
water and bring to a boil and add chicken bullion. Reduce heat to medium
or low. Cook, stirring frequently until soup thickens. Be careful not to let it
scorch on the bottom. If desired, use potato masher to develop smaller bits of
potato. Cover and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thickened.

constantly, until soup is hot.

baked potatoes from restaurant. I hate to peel potatoes. Use frozen
chopped onions. Substitute celery soup for celery.
