For this soup recipe, we love how the onion and potatoes are cooked down and flavored in chicken broth, which only takes about 10 minutes. After the peas are added, everything goes into the food processor and is puréed until the thick, tasty broth forms. Top the soup with some smoked salmon and this easy dinner is served. Smoked salmon and chives are a wonderful complementary match. Sprinkle each serving of soup with finely chopped fresh chives for a bit of delicate flavor and added color.
