Vichyssoise Soup

Ingredients

• 3 cups peeled, cubed potato
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth, undiluted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried whole basil
• 1/(12-ounce) can evaporated skimmed milk
• 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
• Fresh chives (optional)

Directions

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add hot vegetable mixture. Process 1 minute or until smooth. Transfer pureed mixture to a large bowl; stir in milk. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Ladle soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon low-fat sour cream; garnish with fresh chives, if desired.

For a time-saving option, omit the chilling procedure, and serve this reamy potato soup warm.
