Add herbs, with chives snipped into 3 inch pieces. No quantities are given for fresh herbs because they should be added according to individual taste. To substitute dried herbs, start with approximately 1 /2 teaspoon basil, 1 tablespoon each of chives and parsley and 1/4 teaspoon each thyme and dill. Add more of any herb, if you wish. Process just until herbs are chopped. Add cream cheese and sour cream. Process until desired consistency, adding more sour cream for a softer spread. Makes about one pint.
