Irresistible French Potato and Leek Soup
The enduring popularity of potato and leek soup is no mystery. The two vegetables are a perfect pair: Potatoes lend the soup a comforting starchiness, and leeks provide a mild, sweet tang. The French take on this soup, called vichyssoise, involves a generous dash of heavy cream—it's usually a chilled summer soup. You can modify this foolproof, delicious recipe to suit your needs.
Ingredients
  • 2 medium leeks
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 5 ½ cups vegetable stock
  • 1 small bouquet garni
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • Crusty bread for serving, optional
Note: Ingredients may have been altered from the original.
