Begin this soup at least four hours before you plan to serve it. It
needs to cook and then thoroughly chill.
Place onion, potatoes, water, and salt in a saucepan. Simmer until
potatoes are soft.
Cool above mixture to room temperature. Puree in a blender until very
smooth, adding pieces of cucumber as you puree. Blend all the
cucumber in with this mixture. Whisk in milk.
Whisk in sour cream until uniformly-blended. Add dill and pepper.
Chill until very cold.
Taste to correct salt and pepper. Serve topped with chives or
scallions.
Note: You can use dried dill if you absolutely can't find fresh dill
anywhere. Reduce amount to 1-1/2 to 2 ts.
