Fry the onions in the 2 tablespoons butter until browned (I add a little oil so not to burn). Add the carrots and celery and cook until soft. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pot with the potatoes.

When I was little (too many years ago), my sisters and I would visit every summer, my Aunt Anna's summer cottage (the people in Michigan refer to summer homes as cottages when they are on one of Michigan's many lakes no matter what size they are). My Auntie Anna always made the soup we have been discussing and I liked it so much that I always associated, and to this day, going to Auntie Anna's cottage with her potato soup. I don't know where she got it from as my father's family were all from Vienna not Russia but it's the same soup with a few excellent changes. When I was older, she gave me the recipe.
