Add the Sherry; simmer until the liquid evaporates. Add the potato and broth; simmer until the potato is very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Puree the soup in a blender (be very careful when pureeing hot liquids, hold the top on with a folded towel and do not overfill the containers; puree in batches). Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, brush the baguette slices with olive oil. Bake in a moderate (350 degree F) oven until crisp. Rub with the garlic.
- Bring the soup to a simmer, thinning with additional stock, if desired. Ladle into deep bowls; lay the crouton on top and sprinkle with chives.
