Leek and Potato Soup/
Vichyssoise
Louis Diat, longtime chef at the New York Ritz
Hotel, transformed the everyday Leek and Potato
Soup into a cold soup suitable for parties.
4 cups Leek and Potato Soup or
6 cups Vichyssoise
2 medium leeks, white part only,
thoroughly cleaned
½ medium onion, peeled and halved
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium, all-purpose potatoes, peeled
1½ cups chicken stock
1 cup water
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup milk
¼ cup heavy cream
Chopped chives, for garnish
Cut leeks to t feed tube. Use slicing disc to slice
leeks and onion. Melt butter in large saucepan.
Add leeks and onion and sauté, stirring often,
until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes.
Cut potatoes in half crosswise, then quarter
lengthwise. Use slicing disc to slice them. Add
potatoes, stock and water to saucepan. Bring
to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer gently,
stirring occasionally until vegetables are very
tender, about 25 minutes. Adjust seasoning and
serve hot as Leek and Potato Soup or proceed as
follows for cold Vichyssoise.
Strain liquid into large saucepan and set aside.
