Sweet Potato Vichyssoise image

I got this recipe from a cookbook I can't recall the name of, but since I love vichyssoise, I tried this recipe, and it is fabulous. I make it when the weather turns warm and serve it cold.

VICHYSSOISE

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield serves up to 12 as an opening course, 6 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium or 3 large leeks, white and light green parts only, split down the middle and cut into thin half-moons
1/4 cup fresh celery leaves, picked but not chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds potatoes (a mixture of russets and white or all russets), peeled, diced small and held in cold water until ready to cook
2 cups chicken broth, homemade if possible, brought to a simmer
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground (fine) white pepper
Salmon roe, for garnish
Dill fronds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in the pressure cooker pot over medium-low heat. Add the leeks, celery leaves and 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring often, until soft, approximately 8 minutes. If the leeks start to brown during this process, reduce the heat.
  • Drain the potato pieces and add to the pot along with the simmering chicken broth. Clamp on the cooker's lid, (according to the manufacturer's instructions) and bring to full pressure over high heat.
  • Once pressure is attained (there will be a loud whistle) back the heat down to medium-low, just maintaining a hissing of steam for 8 minutes.
  • Kill the heat and release the steam pressure by opening the dump valve or setting the cooker under cold, running water. When the lid can be removed, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender carafe. (If the mixture fills your carafe more than two-thirds full, work in two batches!)
  • Top the carafe with the main lid but remove the center lid so that air can escape as it heats and expands. Cover the lid tightly with a tea towel and blend on low for 1 minute before slowly increasing the speed to smoothly puree the potatoes. (Although you want to increase the speed slowly, try not to puree the potatoes too long as they could become gummy.)
  • Transfer the mixture back to the pot and whisk in the cream. Stir in the white pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I always need the rest of the salt). Chill thoroughly then serve garnished with a small spoonful of the roe and dill fronds.
  • Tightly covered, the vichyssoise will keep a week in the refrigerator. The soup can also be frozen in ice-cube trays then kept in freezer bags for up to three months.

VICHYSSOISE



Vichyssoise image

This chilled velouté is made with humble ingredients, but with a little technique, the leeks, potato, and silky crème fraîche come together for a bowl of pure luxury. Though its namesake is the spa town of Vichy, France, the cold version of this potato soup was invented at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York City.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 leeks, white parts only, trimmed and cleaned
1 rib celery
Sea salt
2 large Idaho potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig parsley
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic
2/3 cup crème fraîche, plus more for garnish
Ice cubes
Chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. In a second stockpot over low heat, warm the chicken stock. Meanwhile, slice the white parts of the leeks in half lengthwise; then thinly slice. Trim and thinly slice celery. Add leeks and celery to the melted butter; gently sweat until translucent, 7-8 minutes, adding a pinch of salt halfway through. Make sure the vegetables do not take on any color.Meanwhile, slice potatoes lengthwise into 4 wedges, then roughly dice into 1-inch chunks. When the leeks and celery are translucent, add warmed stock, followed by the potatoes.
  • Make a sachet: Lay a square of cheesecloth large enough to fit the herbs on a flat surface. Place thyme, parsley, bay leaf, and garlic in the middle; then wrap into a bundle and tie with butcher's twine. Submerge the sachet in the soup and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are soft, 15-20 minutes.
  • When a fork easily pierces a potato, the soup is ready to be blended. First, remove the sachet. Then use a ladle to remove 1½ cups of broth; set aside. Carefully add the rest of the soup to a blender and cover. Blend, beginning on low speed, then slowly increasing to high speed. When the soup is pale and completely puréed, turn off the blender and add crème fraîche. Cover and continue blending on high speed to a light, smooth texture. Test the thickness, then add some of the reserved broth as necessary to thin the soup, and blend again. Set aside the remaining broth.
  • Strain the soup (optional): In a large bowl filled with ice, chill a second bowl large enough to hold the soup. Strain the soup through a chinois or fine-mesh strainer into the chilled bowl; use the back of a ladle to help push the soup through the strainer. The vichyssoise will have a syrupy texture when it's warm, but it will become thicker and more velvety as it chills in the bowl. Let cool for 1 hour.
  • When the vichyssoise is chilled, strain more reserved broth into the soup as needed to thin to desired consistency; stir well to combine. Ladle into a bowl. Shape quenelles of crème fraîche (optional): Pass about a tablespoon of crème fraîche back and forth between two spoons, smoothing and shaping it until you have formed an egg-shaped dollop, or "quenelle." Garnish each bowl with a quenelle of crème fraîche and several chive batons before serving.

VICHYSSOISE



Vichyssoise image

Vichyssoise is a creamy and smooth soup made from potatoes and leeks. Traditionally served chilled, it can be enjoyed hot too if the season calls for a warming soup instead. Serve it as the first course in an elegant luncheon or as your main meal with a green salad on the side.

Provided by Riley Wofford

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 pounds leeks (8 to 10 medium), white and light green parts sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds russet potatoes (3 to 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, plus more for serving
1 cup whole milk
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Chopped fresh chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; add leeks and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are very soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in potatoes, broth, and 1 cup water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Working in batches, transfer mixture to a blender and purée until smooth, adding more liquid as needed. Transfer to a large bowl; whisk in 1 cup cream, milk, and nutmeg; season with salt.
  • Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cream, then ladle into bowls and serve drizzled with more cream. Sprinkle with chives and pepper before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes. Different types of sweet potatoes will give your vichyssoise a different flavor and texture. For a more earthy flavor, use a dark-skinned sweet potato. For a sweeter flavor, use a light-skinned sweet potato.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before pureeing them. Roasting the sweet potatoes will caramelize the sugars and give your vichyssoise a richer flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of your vichyssoise, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vichyssoise. Vichyssoise is a delicate soup, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked vichyssoise will become thick and gluey.
  • Serve the vichyssoise hot or cold. Vichyssoise can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference. If you're serving it hot, make sure it's not too hot to eat. If you're serving it cold, make sure it's chilled thoroughly.

Conclusion:

Spicy Sweet Potato Vichyssoise is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet and spicy flavor, and beautiful presentation, this soup is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new soup recipe, give Spicy Sweet Potato Vichyssoise a try. You won't be disappointed!
