For 4 people:
1/ Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the green onion, regular onion, and potatoes.
2/ Sautรฉ the Aromatics: Heat the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and green onion and sautรฉ for about 5 minutes until translucent.
3/ Add and Cook the Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes and stir gently for a minute or two.
4/ Simmer the Soup Base: Add the water and bouillon. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.

6/ Add Dairy and Seasoning: Stir in the milk, crรจme fraรฎche, and a little nutmeg.
7/ Simmer and Adjust Flavor: Return the pot to low heat and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
8/ Chill Thoroughly: Place the cooled soup in the refrigerator and chill for several hours until well chilled.
9/ Garnish and Serve: Pour the chilled soup into bowls. Top with chopped parsley or chives (if available), and enjoy.
โญ Cream Options: Choose Your Texture: If you use crรจme fraรฎche, the soup will have a rich and relaxing texture. For a lighter and smoother finish, try fresh cream or milk instead.
โญ Make-Ahead Magic: Even Better the Next Day:ย Preparing the soup a day in advance and letting it chill in the fridge allows the flavors to deepen beautifully. Perfect for a refreshing summer dish.
โญ Winter Version: Enjoy It Warm:ย This soup isnโt just for summerโtry serving it warm during the colder months for a comforting seasonal variation.
โญ Garnish:ย Fresh parsley or finely chopped chives add color and a mild herbal touch.
โญ Serving Idea:ย Serve the soup in chilled glass cups or bowls for an elegant summer starter. For a light lunch, pair it with crusty bread, a green salad, or a slice of quiche.
Our Spinach and Bacon Quiche recipe also makes a perfect matchโits rich flavor and tender filling complement the chilled soup beautifully.
