Vicchyssoise Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped leeks, diced onion, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Potatoes and Broth

   Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

   Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches.

4. 4

   Add Cream and Seasoning

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Chill and Serve

   Refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours or until chilled. Serve cold, garnished with chopped chives.
