 Directions

Note 1: Original recipe called for 2 C defatted chicken stock or Vegetarian
stock

Prep Time: 15 - 20 min Cooking Time: 35 - 40 min

To lower the calories in the soup, nonfat milk and potato puree replace the
rich cream base used in traditional recipes. This soup freezes beautifully,
so make a double batch, especially when corn is at its peak.

In a large stockpot over med-high heat, saute onion in butter and sherry
until soft but not browned. Add celery and potatoes and saute for 2 min.
Crush bay leaf and wrap in cheesecloth or place in a tea ball. Add stock
and bay leaf to soup and bring to a boil.

Lower heat to simmer and cook, covered, until potatoes are tender (20 min).
Remove bay leaf and discard. Place 2 C of the soup in a blender and puree.
Return to pot. Add tomatoes, corn, and milk, and bring to a boil again.
Lower heat and simmer for 5 min. Add parsley, taste for seasoning, and add
pepper (if desired).

Makes 10 C, 8 servings

This was very, very good.
