1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons sherry
1 cup onion — chopped
1 cup carrot — sliced
2 stalks celery — sliced
2 cups red potatoes — cubed
1 bay leaf
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup skim milk
1 cup corn kernels
cayenne to taste plain yogurt for garnish (optional)
Instructions In large heavy saucepan, heat oil and sherry until bubbling. Add onion and saute 5 minutes. (If mixture appears dry, add 1-2 tsp. water.) Add carrot, celery, bay leaf, potatoes & stock. Cover, bring to boil & cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until potato is tender. Add milk & corn; simmer for 3 minutes or until corn is tender. Discard bay leaf. Puree 1 cup soup in blender, then return to pot. Season with cayenne. If desired, garnish with yogurt. Note: Go easy on the cayenne. The first time I made this I overdid it! I didn’t use the yogurt, and it tasted fine.
