Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

1 onion, peeled, halved and finely chopped
1tbsp vegetable or corn oil
1.2ltrs chicken or vegetable stock
500g large new potatoes, peeled and sliced, plus a couple of whole ones just peeled then boiled
½tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2tbsp chopped chives
A couple of slices of smoked salmon (optional), diced
Gently cook the onion in the oil for about 2-3 minutes until soft, then add the stock and sliced potatoes; season and simmer for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are just falling apart. Blend the soup in a liquidiser until smooth, then chill as per the other soups.
Cut the cooked whole potatoes into rough 1cm dice and mix with some of the chives and olive oil and season. Mix the rest of the chives with the soup and re-season.
If the soup is too thick, add some more stock or milk. Pour the soup into chilled serving bowls, spoon the diced potatoes in the centre and scatter the salmon around, if using.
