Vichyssoise Recipe

	Edmund / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago (Potato-Leek Soup) This refreshing soup is excellent both hot or chilled. It's wonderful hot with a couple slices of French bread, and chilled it's great on a hot summer day and can even be served in cordial glasses as an amuse bouche. Prep:30m Cook:90m Servings:12	Edmund
