Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining potato mixture. Stir in half-and-half. Cover and keep warm. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil bread slices 2 minutes or until golden. Ladle 1 cup soup into each of 8 bowls; top each serving with about 1 teaspoon chives. Serve 2 bread slices with each serving. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper, if desired. Wine note: This is one vegetable soup that can easily handle a lighter red wine. Stick with the French theme and look for bargains from Burgundy, like Louis Jadot Pinot Noir 2005 ($20). This wine has pretty red berry fruit, great balance, and gentle tannins that make it ideal for lower-fat dishes. The underlying earthy, leathery flavors bring out the rustic nuances of the potatoes and squash. -Jeffery Lindenmuth Yield: 8 servings CALORIES 329 (30% from fat); FAT 10.9g (sat 6.2g,mono 3g,poly 0.9g); IRON 3.2mg; CHOLESTEROL 30mg; CALCIUM 217mg; CARBOHYDRATE 46.7g; SODIUM 813mg; PROTEIN 12.8g; FIBER 4.8g Cooking Light, JANUARY 2008
