Title: Vicchyssoise (Potato-Leek Soup With Chicken Stock)
Categories: Soups
Yield: 3 Quarts
3 c Potatoes; peeled & sliced
3 c Leek; white parts, sliced
1 1/2 qt Chicken stock or broth
1/2 c Whipping cream; up to 1 c
--OR-
3 tb Butter; melted; up to 4 tb
Salt; to taste
White pepper; to taste
2 tb Chives; minced; up to 3 tb
Remember to clean the leeks thoroughly to avoid dirt and grit.
Simmer vegetables in stock (along with a pinch of salt) in a
partially-covered pot until tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Once the
vegetables are tender, puree the soup using an immersion blender or a
pitcher blender.
Season with salt and pepper and stir in the heavy cream or butter.
White pepper is recommended in this recipe because it blends in with
the color of the soup. If all you have is black pepper, that's
perfectly fine to use.
Garnish with chives.
This soup tastes even better after it sitting in the refrigerator for
a day or two.

Vichyssoise is traditionally served "chilled". Since I prefer my soups
to be at least warm I call mine Potato-Leek soup. Bv)= But Julia is correct that "This soup tastes even better after it sitting in the refrigerator for a day or two." Many things do.

I took the liberty of adding that note about "This soup tastes even
better after..." Like you, i prefer the soup warm. This is the recipe Mom liked to use to make potato-leek soup when i was a kid. So simple
yet so tasty. Goes well with cheddar drop biscuits. We didn't call it vichyssoise either.

About the only "cold" soups I prefer cold are Gazpacho and the
cucumber soups. Bv)=

Here they make a watermelon/strawberry cold soup during the spring and summer months. It is not my favorite soup, but I do like it. Gail
does not like it at all.

I dunno how that would be as a soup. But I quite like it as a
beverage/ iced treat.
