Steps:
- Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Peel the zest away from the lemon in long strips, avoiding the white pith. Place the lemon zest, rosemary sprigs and oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and heat until the oil just comes to a simmer, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit at room temperature while you prepare the soup.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the white and light green parts of the scallions (about 1/2 cup) and the garlic. Cook until softened, stirring constantly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 2 cups water and the French fries, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered until the potatoes soften and start to break apart in the broth, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, strain the rosemary and lemon strips from the oil. Juice the lemon and whisk into the strained oil. Season with salt and pepper. Brush some of the oil onto the halved baguette, place on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are fully softened, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. Season with additional salt if needed.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with some of the remaining rosemary-lemon oil and garnish with the dark scallion greens. Cut the baguette into smaller pieces and serve alongside the soup.

BURNED-SCALLION CREMA
This is a hopped-up, smoky version of a traditional Mexican crema, thinner than sour cream, with more tang, and a slightly salty bite. I like it matched with slab-bacon tacos and it is marvelous drizzled over roasted cabbage or sweet potatoes. I've plopped it into black bean soup. It's a nice addition to a quesadilla, and I enjoy it on a burger enrobed with jack cheese and topped with pickled jalapenos. It's a versatile condiment. Try it with nachos in place of the traditional sour cream.

Steps:
- Put the scallions and jalapeño in a large dry sauté pan and cook over high heat, tossing occasionally, until the scallions and jalapeño have blackened at the edges, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
- Put the scallions and jalapeño in the bowl of a food processor, and blitz them with the juice of 1 lime, then add the sour cream and mayonnaise, and blitz the mixture until it is smooth and flecked with blackened bits. Season to taste with the salt and, if you'd like the mixture thinner, the juice of the second lime. Scrape into a bowl, and reserve.

FRENCH MUSHROOM AND SCALLION SOUP
This is a wonderful soup with unusual ingredients--scallions and mushrooms! The soup has a delicate flavor, and once pureed, becomes thicker and more chowder-like. We loved this with crusty bread and some salmon on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large pot over moderate heat.
- Saute the scallions and garlic until tender but not too brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook 2 to 3 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Add the stock and mushrooms and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
- Simmer covered for 5 minutes.
- Puree in batches using an electric blender or food processor.
- (If you have one, an immersion blender is the best!) Strain, return to the pot and add the cream or half& half, salt, and pepper.
- Reheat and serve garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve with a crusty loaf of French bread and a glass of wine.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality scallions: The fresher the scallions, the more flavorful the soup will be. Look for scallions with bright green tops and firm white bulbs.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the scallions, make sure to give them enough room to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallions will steam instead of brown.
- Use a good-quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good-quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Cream of scallion soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, bacon, shredded cheese, or chopped fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Cream of scallion soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover scallions. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
