Ingredients

• 9 oz. (about 3 1/2 packed cups) cooked French fries
• 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth ( may substitute no-salt added chicken broth), or more as needed
• Splash white wine OR malt vinegar
• Splash heavy cream or milk, optional
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 1 to 2 Tbsp. ketchup
• A few dashes malt vinegar

Directions

1. Put the French fries in a medium saucepan and pour the broth over them. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low; cook, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the French fries are quite soft. Remove from the heat.
2. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Stir in the wine (or malt vinegar) and the cream or milk, if using. Taste, adding salt and pepper as needed. If the consistency’s too thick, stir in more broth.
3. If desired, stir together the ketchup (to taste) and enough malt vinegar to thin it out to the desired consistency.
4. ladle the soup into bowls. Dot or drizzle each portion with the thinned ketchup; sere hot.
