This recipe came with a Ronson Food Processor. I still have both..twenty five years later, must mean they are pretty good! I broke this down so it might seem like alot of work, but the food processor is doing the hard part.

2 medium carrots, peeled
2 medium cucumbers, peeled
2 celery ribs
4 large shallots, quartered
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
1 1/4 tablespoons cream of wheat (potato starch works well also)
10 sprigs italian parsley, leaves only
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon rosemary, dried, crushed (can use sage,different flavor, but good also)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons chives, minced

1. Using food processor or by hand, process shallots to fine-mince. Place in cup and set aside.

3. Put parsley in workbowl along with cucumbers and celery. Pulse 3-4 times.
