Soups
Cucumber and Potato Soup
To serve 6
3 medium-sized cucumbers (about 2 pounds)
3 medium-sized boiling potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and quartered
2 large onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken stock, fresh or canned
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions, including the green tops
1 sweet gherkin, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely cut fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk

   With a small, sharp knife, peel the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise into halves. Scoop out and discard the seeds by running the tip of a teaspoon down the center of each half, then grate the cucumbers coarsely and set them aside.

   Combine the potatoes, onions and chicken stock in a heavy 2- to 3-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and onions are soft enough to be mashed easily against the sides of the pan with a spoon.

   Pour the entire contents of the pan into a fine sieve set over a deep bowl. With the back of a large spoon, rub the vegetables through the sieve. If you prefer, purée the potato and onion mixture in a food mill or in the jar of an electric blender. Return the puréed vegetables and their liquid to the saucepan and add the reserved cucumbers, the scallions, gherkin, mint leaves, parsley, salt and a few grindings of pepper, pour in the milk and, stirring constantly, cook over moderate heat for a few minutes to heat the soup through.

   Taste for seasoning and serve at once from a heated tureen or individual soup plates. Or, if you prefer, refrigerate the soup for 2 or 3 hours, until it is thoroughly chilled, and serve it cold. Just before serving, you may want to garnish the soup with additional chopped parsley, gherkins and scallions or a heaping tablespoon of sour cream.
