3. Stir in roasted peppers, broth, and potato. Bring to boiling then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

4. Cool mixture slightly then pour in a third of the pepper mixture into a blender and process until smooth. Repeat with remaining mixture.

5. Return mixture to saucepan and heat through.

6. Serve in bowls with a dollop of non-fat sour cream (optional) garnished with chives.

    Very Good
    This is goooood...and no, I can't believe the sodium level is correct. For a variation, add a small can of diced tomatoes. - 1/9/08

    Is the sodium level correct? The suggested amount to have per day is 2300mg. This is too high for one meal. - 1/9/08
