CHILLED POTATO AND LEEK SOUP - VICHYSSOISE
Most recipes for chilled potato soup have lots and lots of heavy cream thus fat. This recipe is very simple to put together and very low in fat. As it chills it becomes super thick and creamy. After having tried this both chilled and at room temperature, I highly recommend room temperature. The recipe is from William-Sonoma Essentials of Healthy Cooking.

VICHYSSOISE: CHILLED POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat add the butter.
- When melted, add the leeks and gently sweat (you don't want them to brown) until they are soft (about 5 minutes).
- Add the potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
- Simmer until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Add the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Do this in small batches (no more than half full) as the hot soup creates pressure and can spray out.
- Return the soup to the pot and whisk in the cream. Stirring all the time, bring the soup to a boil and immediately turn down to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes and remove from heat. If the soup is too thick, add a little water or broth.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper.
- Cool quickly to room temperature, cover with plastic, then refrigerate until chilled (preferably overnight).
- Just before serving, sprinkle chives over the top.

Steps:
- Combine the leeks, potatoes, milk, and 2 cups water in a 4-quart pot.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until a potato slice falls apart when you poke it with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream, and let cool briefly.
- Purée the soup with an immersion blender.
- Strain the puréed soup. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin, and then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Before serving, thin the soup with water or milk if necessary-it should be the consistency of heavy cream. Serve cold, and garnish with chives.

VICHYSSOISE (POTATO & LEEK SOUP)
A Cold, Creamy, Luscious Summer Potato & Leek Soup recipe I found on thenibble.com. This was created by a French Chef and it is traditionally served cold can be served hot for those in their winter months. I have had this soup (cold) and loved it, but this one is untried by me at this time. Posting for the French leg of ZWT with minor changes for my taste and texture.

If soup is too thick, prior to serving, stir in a bit of water to thin it out.
