Keep in mind these potatoes are red potatoes and are soft, which means their skins tear very easily, so be firm, but gentle.

I decided to use beef stock, but you can also use vegetable stock. Meijer Naturals makes a really good 100% organic broth with no weird preservatives or additives. It&#8217;s also gluten free. It doesn&#8217;t have any garlic in it, but it does have onion, so it may not be FODMAP friendly for everyone. Mr. MVP tolerates it really well. I used one entire carton which is 4 1\/2 cups.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2666\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next up you will want to add your herbs. Honestly I usually just eyeball the herbs, so if you like more or less go for it. Also, remember please do not buy herbs at the supermarket. Go to your local health food store and buy them in bulk where they are just pennies. Bring your little containers and fill them up, or they provide you with bags. It is 10 times less expensive and they always have a better selection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-in.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2665\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-in-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-in-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-in-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-in-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.nicolevanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/spices-in.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Very carefully stir everything together, making sure you get the celery all the way at the bottom.
