Steps:

1. Saute onions in butter in a medium sauce pan about 2-3 minutes or until tender.
2. Pour chicken broth into onions and bring to a boil.
3. Add all ingredients to broth with the exception of the light cream. (Do not add cream until soup has been cooked according to time allotted!!) Stir ingredients together until well mixed. Cook for 25 minutes on low heat.
4. While soup is cooking, about the last 10 minutes, prepare your julienned potatoes. In a small frying pan, saute, well seasoned, potatoes in butter until crisp. (about 5 minutes) Move julienned potatoes to a paper towel to soak up excess grease from the butter.
5. When soup has been cooking for 25 minutes, add cream. Heat through and served with garnish.
