Vichyssoise Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large pot, combine the sliced leeks, diced potatoes, and chopped onion. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Simmer the Soup

   Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and leeks are tender.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

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

4. 4

   Add Cream and Seasoning

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Chill and Serve

   Allow the soup to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled, garnished with chopped chives.
