This has been my very favoritist soup since I was just a tadpole. They always give you a tiny cup in a restaurant so I learned to make it when I could reach the stove,I think I posted my recipe. Anyhow, thanks for the post. Joymarie


Wow, this sounds yummy!!
Thanks for sharing, must try it! ^_^


One of my top five soups. Another foggy day - I may have to make tonight.


This is a favorite soup from my days at Rollande et Pierre. They served tiny cups on a bed of ice with minced chives on top. I remember it well, because I had to mince the chives. LOL Still it is delicious hot or cold and it is a guilty pleasure to eat a BIG bowl, just because I can. Great recipe, just as it should be. very yummy.


I love potato & leek soup and it is so nice to see cream for a change again & not all the healthier options. Sometimes you just can not substitute it! Thanx


Vichyssoise, Man i could eat this every day..love the stuff..........


This is Soup Heaven.


This is a must try.
