Vichyssoise

Yeah, it's cold potato soup. Try it anyway.

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cups leeks, sliced & washed
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled & diced
  • salt & pepper (I'd better not have to tell you that fresh ground is best)
  • 8 cups chicken broth (I only used 6)
  • 2 cups heavy cream (I used 1)

Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add leeks & cook over medium heat. Then add potatoes, salt & pepper. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cook till veggies are tender.

Put 3/4 soup in blender and puree.

Return to pot & stir in cream.

PS from Gia-Ninh: "pair with sauvignon blanc (fume blanc)"
