Steps:

• Combine diced potatoes, carrots, celery and onions with chicken broth in a large pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (it will take about 10 minutes to reach a boil).
• Once it reaches a boil reduce heat to medium and continue to cook about 15 - 20 minutes longer until potatoes are very soft when pierced with a fork.
