4. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth. (personally I just use a masher; not fussed with the texture of this soup unless I am serving this to guests.)
5. Return to pot. Add milk and heat but do not boil.
6. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped chives and ground pepper.

Enjoy!
