(Vichyssoise) Leek and Potato Soup image

Vichyssoise or Leek and Potato Soup is one of my all time favourites. This particular recipe uses no milk. It is creamy and delicious. I had a bowl this morning and squeezed a little lemon juice in mine, it gave the soup another layer of flavour. I love this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this soup. The leeks are very mild in flavor, and they add a nice sweetness to the soup.
