Ingredients:

Serving

about 2 1/2 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 lb white rose or yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup thinly sliced onion (4 oz.)
1 cup thickly sliced celery (about 2 stalks ; 5 oz.)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
1 green onion, rinsed, ends trimmed, coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp butter
1 english cucumber (about 12 oz.), rinsed
about 3/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
about 1/2 tsp salt
about 1/8 tsp hot sauce

Directions:

Combine 2 1/2 cups broth, potatoes, onion, celery, parsley, green onion, thyme, and butter in a 5- to 6-quart pan; cover and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes mash easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, thinly slice a fourth of the cucumber; wrap airtight and chill. Coarsely chop remaining.
Working in batches, whirl potato mixture and chopped cucumber in a blender until smooth; pour into a large bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup crème fraîche, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce. Cover and chill until cold, at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day.
Thin soup with more broth. If desired, add more salt and hot sauce to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced cucumber and more crème fraîche.
