From our daughter...sorry, dont know where she got it from. Saute the first 6 ingredients in the butter for 5 minutes. Add the water and salt, and simmer for 30 minutes. Puree in a blender or food processor, add the milk, and reheat. Enjoy! Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest by Muriel Harris <harrism@omni.cc.purdue.edu> on Nov 11, 1998,
