Vichyssoise

My Vichyssoise recipe is an easy take on the classic chilled soup of cooked and pureed leeks, potatoes, and onions, plus cream. This cold soup is satisfying yet light, perfect for hot summer and fall days!

Ingredients

Servings
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted
  • 4 cups leek chopped
  • 1 cup yellow onion diced
  • 1 garlic minced, large clove
  • 4 cups chicken stock low-sodium
  • 3 cups Yukon Gold potato peeled and diced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt Morton brand
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • chives for garnish, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the leeks, onion, and garlic. Saute until leeks are tender and the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes or so.
  2. Add the chicken stock, potatoes, salt, white pepper, and bay leaf. Stir to combine, then simmer over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Remove the bay leaf and add the heavy cream and sour cream.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. Or use a stand blender, working in smaller batches. Either way, be careful when blending hot liquids. For an even smoother soup, press the blended soup through a fine sieve with a rubber spatula.
  5. Transfer soup to the refrigerator and chill for 30-60 minutes. You want to serve the soup cool, but not cold.
  6. Serve garnished with a sprinkling of chives.
