VICHYSSOISE
The finest of all cold soups--and the very best thing invented in the USA! This wonderful, smooth soup can be garnished with a very few finely chopped chives. The chef at the Algonquin (where the soup originated) now sprinkles a very little curry powder, and provided it is a VERY little this can be very pleasant. Enjoy.

VICHY CARROTS
Vichy carrots are a dish in which the vegetables are cooked through in water with a little sugar on them to create a glaze. Historically, the excellence of this preparation derived from the quality of the spring water in Vichy, a resort town in central France. Jody Williams, the chef at Buvette in Greenwich Village, from whom this recipe is adapted, adds sherry vinegar to the water, along with, eventually, some honey, shallots and a pinch or two of fresh thyme. Who knows if the Vichyssoise would recognize the result. But served hot, room temperature or cold, they are some fantastic carrots.

Steps:
- Put carrots in a sauté pan, season aggressively with salt and add a tablespoon of the vinegar. Add cold water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the carrots. Set pan over high heat and bring liquid to a boil.
- Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. (If pan appears about to dry out during this process, add a splash or two of water.)
- Once carrots are cooked through, discard any excess liquid in the pan. Add remaining tablespoon sherry vinegar to pan, along with the honey, olive oil, shallot and thyme, and cook for about 2 minutes to glaze the carrots. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or at room temperature, or cold from the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add potato, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and the nutmeg, and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in cauliflower, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups stock. Simmer, partially covered, until cauliflower has softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove 2 florets, and transfer to a cutting board; thinly slice lengthwise. Set aside for garnish.
- Working in batches, puree vegetable mixture in a blender, filling no more than halfway each time. Return to pan. Stir in buttermilk and remaining 1/2 cup stock. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper. Serve hot or cold, garnished with cauliflower slices.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of your Carrot-Coconut Vichyssoise, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose sweet carrots, creamy coconut milk, and flavorful leeks.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your personal preference. Add more curry powder for a spicier soup, or more coconut milk for a richer flavor.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can puree the soup with an immersion blender. Just be sure to do it in batches, so you don't overload the blender.
- For a vegan version of this soup, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the butter.
Conclusion:
Carrot-Coconut Vichyssoise is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots and coconut milk. With its creamy texture, subtle sweetness, and hint of spice, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
