VICHYSSOISE (POTATO & LEEK SOUP)
A Cold, Creamy, Luscious Summer Potato & Leek Soup recipe I found on thenibble.com. This was created by a French Chef and it is traditionally served cold can be served hot for those in their winter months. I have had this soup (cold) and loved it, but this one is untried by me at this time. Posting for the French leg of ZWT with minor changes for my taste and texture.

Steps:
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Remove the tops from the leek and finely chop the white bulbs only.
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the potatoes and leek and cook gently, without browning. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Once the vegetables are tender(about 30 mins) puree them in 2 batches in a blender. Stir in the cream and pureed veggies into a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and cool the mixture in the refrigerator. If soup is too thick, prior to serving, stir in a bit of water to thin it out.
- Serve the mixture in chilled dishes and garnish with the chives.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I actually really liked this soup. The creaminess of the potatoes and the subtle flavor of the leeks worked really well together. I would definitely make this again.
Arfan Ahmadi
[email protected]This soup is okay, but I've had better. I think the flavor is a bit one-dimensional. I would recommend trying a different recipe if you're looking for a really great vichyssoise.

[email protected]I was disappointed with this soup. It was very watery and lacked flavor. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
Nick Pick
[email protected]This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning. I also found the texture to be a bit too thick. I will try making it again with some adjustments.

[email protected]I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love the way the leeks and potatoes cook down and become so tender.

[email protected]This soup is simply divine! The flavors of the leeks and potatoes meld perfectly, and the addition of cream makes it incredibly rich and velvety. I served it with a crusty baguette and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
