POTATO LEEK SOUP (VICHYSSOISE)
There is nothing better on a chilly, damp day than a steaming bowl of potato leek soup; and conversely, few things are as delicious and refreshing on a hot, sweaty day than a bowl of ice cold vichyssoise.

Steps:
- In a heavy bottomed pot, or dutch oven, heat the olive oil and the butter, over medium high heat.
- Sauté the onion until translucent (about 2 minutes).
- Add the leeks and sauté until soft (about 4-5 min).
- Add the potatoes and sauté with the onions and leeks for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion hand blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can work in batches using a regular blender.
- Add the heavy cream and turn the heat back up to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes so it thickens a little.
- Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Remove from heat.
- Wait for the soup to cool down to room temperature and chill for at least one hour before serving (overnight is better).
- Garnish with some chopped chives and serve.
CHILLED POTATO AND LEEK SOUP - VICHYSSOISE
Most recipes for chilled potato soup have lots and lots of heavy cream thus fat. This recipe is very simple to put together and very low in fat. As it chills it becomes super thick and creamy. After having tried this both chilled and at room temperature, I highly recommend room temperature. The recipe is from William-Sonoma Essentials of Healthy Cooking.

CLASSIC VICHYSSOISE SOUP RECIPE AND HISTORY
Steps:
- Trim and clean leeks (see below); thinly slice the white portion.
- Cut and clean leeks - You need to thoroughly clean a leek because dirt can become trapped in its many layers. Trim the root portion right above the base (cutting too far up the stalk will remove the part that holds the layers together). Slice off the fibrous green tops, leaving only the white-to-light green stalk; discard greens. Cut the leek in half lengthwise, then cut according to your recipe (slice, chop or dice).
- In a large soup pot over medium heat, saute the leeks, onions, and butter until tender. Stir in potatoes, vegetable or chicken broth, and salt. Increase heat and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and let cool 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a food processor or blender, puree cooled mixture until smooth. The soup can be made 1 to 2 days in advance up until this stage. Refrigerate until ready to finish.
- When ready to serve, return mixture to soup pot. Stir in milk and cream; cook over low heat, another 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt. NOTE: Thin to desired consistency with the milk. Remove from heat and serve in soup bowls; garnish with chives.
- This soup can be served either hot or cold.
- Makes 6 to 8 servings.
VICHYSSOISE: CHILLED POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat add the butter.
- When melted, add the leeks and gently sweat (you don't want them to brown) until they are soft (about 5 minutes).
- Add the potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
- Simmer until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Add the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Do this in small batches (no more than half full) as the hot soup creates pressure and can spray out.
- Return the soup to the pot and whisk in the cream. Stirring all the time, bring the soup to a boil and immediately turn down to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes and remove from heat. If the soup is too thick, add a little water or broth.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper.
- Cool quickly to room temperature, cover with plastic, then refrigerate until chilled (preferably overnight).
- Just before serving, sprinkle chives over the top.

- Combine the leeks, potatoes, milk, and 2 cups water in a 4-quart pot.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until a potato slice falls apart when you poke it with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream, and let cool briefly.
- Purée the soup with an immersion blender.
- Strain the puréed soup. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin, and then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Before serving, thin the soup with water or milk if necessary-it should be the consistency of heavy cream. Serve cold, and garnish with chives.

- Prepare the leeks: Trim and discard the roots and dark green ends of the leeks so that only the light green and white parts remain. Cut each leek in half lengthwise and slice thinly into half moons. Transfer to a bowl and fill with cool water, and use your hands to stir and separate the leeks (the outer layers can be quite sandy and dirty.) Strain through a colander, rinse, and drain. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, and leeks, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the leeks have softened, about 15 mins.
- Add the stock, potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and nutmeg. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork,( not cracking and falling apart), about 9-10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf, and purée the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. (If you don’t have an immersion blender, a regular blender can be used! Allow the soup to cool at least slightly, then transfer to the blender and blend in batches. Be sure to vent the blender when blending as steam from hot liquids can build up pressure and blow the lid off.)

- Heat a large soup pot on medium-low heat and add in your butter, garlic, leek, and salt. Let all this concoction sautée until the aromatics are soft and have released all its sugar and have caramelized slightly. You're not looking for color, just a touch of golden but nothing deeper color than that otherwise your soup will look brown instead of cream.
- Crank up the heat to medium and add in your chopped potatoes and stock, stir until combined, and cover with the pot lid and let this whole thing simmer until the potatoes are tender and cooked. You'll know this by poking one with a fork and if it went through smoothly, it is cooked.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add in your yogurt, white pepper, and let the soup heat up until it is simmering stirring from time to time.
