Vichyssoise Recipe
(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.

Mmm... my mouth was watering as I read this recipe thanks. This reminds me of a recipeI have for a potato, fennel and leek gratin


I make this often it is great on a rainy day. I like the buttermilk addition it adds a tangy flavor that is delightful.
