Favorite cold summertime soup. Adapted from the Julia Child recipe

ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups of water
  • 5 Chicken bouillon cups (or 4 1/2 cups per-made chicken stock)
  • 3 medium/large baking potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup of chopped scallions or shallots
  • 3/4 cup of peas (frozen)
  • about 2 cups of heavy cream or half and half
  • milk to reach desired texture
  • teaspoon of celery salt
  • teaspoon of curry powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

directions

  • 1

    Take water, chicken stock or cubes, potatoes, scallions, peas, celery salt, curry powder, salt and pepper and put in a medium pot on the stove. Bring to a boil then turn to low and cover. Cool until potatoes are soft (mushy). Take off the stove and let sit until cool.

    Once cool, take out a blender and add mixture in batches (unless using a commercial blender, then you can add all at once). Blend on low while slowly adding heavy cream or half and half. Once all the cream is added, add milk to reach desired thickness and taste. Serve with chopped chives on top.
