Watercress Soup√

Watercress Soup
Chop 1 medium size potato into cubes and sweat gently in a little butter or light (sunflower) oil for 5 minutes or so
Add 1 carton of chicken stock * and bring to the boil
Add two fat bunches of washed watercress (don't cut off the stalks)
Simmer for 10-15 minutes - until the potatoes are cooked
Blend vigorously until super smooth with 1 cup of milk or half and half
Add salt and pepper to taste
Serve with a finely chopped, fresh herb garnish - chives are my favorite

* 32 oz. carton (or 4 cups/2 pints of homemade stock - chicken or vegetable - or water plus good stock cubes!)
