Scallion Soup

 

If it were any easier, it would come in a can. And it's terrific hot or cold.

 

Medium-heat in a soup pot:

2 tbsp margarine

Cut up and add:

1 small onion

1 bunch scallions, all the white parts and a little green

Cover and cook over very low heat for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Add:

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

2 1/2 cups chicken soup stock

Bring to a boil, cover again, and simmer over medium low heat for 30 minutes. Cool slightly, then puree in blender. Pour back into pot and add:

1 1/2 cups nondairy creamer

1 tsp lemon juice

salt and white pepper if desired

Serve topped with chives or chopped scallions.
