This one is perfect for hot summer days.  It should be served
cool, not cold (else it loses some of its flavor).

Ingredients:

	1 medium-sized onion
	1 tablespoon butter
	1 teaspoon sugar
	3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
	1/8 teaspoon red pepper (the type you put on pizza)
	1 quart chicken broth
	1 pound (!) scallions
	1/4 cup sour cream

Chop the onion and brown it slightly in the butter.
Add the cumin and simmer a few minutes.
Transfer to a 2-quart or larger pot.  Add the chicken broth
and red pepper and bring to a simmer.

Now clean and chop the scallions.  Add to the simmering broth
and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.

Puree the broth in a blender or food processor.  Let cool.
Stir in sour cream.  Chill and serve.
