Add potatoes, stir to coat with butter, then add chives, and cook for 1 minute, stirring so that vegetables do not burn. Add chicken stock, cover, and bring to a boil. Then lower heat, and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes or until soft enough to puree. Puree vegetable mixture with the milk in a blender or food processor in several batches, as needed. To Serve Cold: transfer puree to a large bowl, stir in remaining ingredients and chill for several hours. Stir and serve. To Serve Hot: reheat the puree gently, stirring in the cream and blend. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon; let stand for a few minutes and serve. SOURCEs: The Herb and Spice Cookbook by Sheryl and Mel London, 1986: Rodale. Recipe called for cubing the vegetables, usually 1/2". >phannema@wizard.ucr.edu >eat-lf archive 1998-Jan. Notes: PANTRY: A tbs of whipped butter is equivalent to 3/4 tbs regular. Lemon verbena is an annual herb; not usually available in groceries; sometimes sold at farmers' markets. Alternative: 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind and 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley. By weight: 3/4-pound turnips (6-8); 1/2-pound potatoes. Dice vegetables smaller than 1/2-inch. If you halve the recipe, you may need to add more stock or water to cover the vegetables: compensate by cooking 10 minutes covered and 15 uncovered; or add less milk. Makes about 6 cups.
