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.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine the leeks, green onions and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock.

- Add the diced potatoes and remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken stock, replace the cover and cook until vegetables are very soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from heat, uncover and allow the soup to stand for 15 minutes to cool slightly; stir in the butter.
- Very carefully transfer the hot vegetable mixture to blender container, puree until very smooth and in several batches if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper; allow the soup to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
- When cool, cover and place in refrigerate until well chilled, 3 to 4 hours or serve at room temperature; adjusting seasoning if needed.
- To serve, divide into individual serving bowls and garnish with some of the reserved green onion tops that have been thinly sliced.

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.

CLASSIC VICHYSSOISE
This cold leek-and-potato soup, a French-American classic, was perfected in the early 1900s by Louis Diat, the chef at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York. Everyone has eaten it (or at least heard of it), but if it is served at all these days, it is often a watery, grainy, yellow-green puree, instead of the ivory-colored velvety cream it should be. Diat's soup is basically milk and cream that is flavored and thickened by the vegetable puree; most current recipes are just the reverse, a not-very-smooth puree with a token amount of cream tossed in. Diat included "medium" cream, now a thing of the past; the recipe below substitutes more milk and heavy cream, but scrupulously follows Diat's directions for such flavor-enhancing steps as sauteing the leeks in butter. Made correctly, there is no reason to be bored with this soup, and it doesn't need jazzing up with a lot of "creative" ingredients (or even a sprinkling of chives). It fully deserves its fame.

Steps:
- Start the chicken stock 2 days in advance: Trim away all green sections from the leeks; cut open the whites as necessary to wash out the grit, then dry and refrigerate in a plastic bag. Wash and reserve the leek greens.
- Wash the chicken backs, poking into the crevices with your finger to rinse away all bits of liver. (Chicken backs are best because they don't make an overly gelatinous stock; for cartilaginous parts like breast trimmings or wings, use only a pound.).
- Simmer the chicken and 1/4 teaspoons salt for 6 hours in water to cover, skimming off all scum (don't try to remove the fat); after 2 hours, add some or all of the leek greens. Strain the stock finely, making about 2 cups; cool and refrigerate. Before using, scrape off the congealed fat.
- Cook and refrigerate the soup base 1 day in advance: Saute the onions in a heavy 2-quart saucepan, starting on fairly high heat and reducing to medium as soon as the fat clarifies. When the onions are golden, increase the heat and add the leeks gradually; lower the heat again as they cook, stirring repeatedly to keep the juices from browning.
- In 15 to 20 minutes, when everything is golden but not browned, add the stock and 3/8 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, partially cover the pan, and simmer actively for 35 minutes. (Don't use too much potato, or the soup will end up too thick.).
- In two batches, finely puree the soup base in a blender at high speed, then pour it back into the saucepan. Rinse out the blender with the milk, add it to the soup base, and heat slowly until it just starts to simmer, stirring continually across the pan bottom and around the sides.
- Finally, put the soup through a very fine strainer, scraping hard with a rubber spatula to push everything through. Cool quickly and refrigerate.
- On serving day, stir the cream gradually into the softly jelled soup. Carefully adjust the consistency, adding more cream (or water or both) as necessary to make a thick but pourable liquid; a spoonful poured back into the bowl should level out, not stay in soft peaks. Taste for seasoning -- don't oversalt, or you'll lose the natural sweetness of the onion and cream.
- Vichyssoise keeps refrigerated up to 10 days.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine leeks, broth, potato, 2 cups water, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until vegetables are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Working in batches, puree soup in blender, transferring it to a clean bowl as you work. (To prevent splattering, fill blender only halfway, and allow heat to escape: Remove cap from hole in lid, and cover lid firmly with a dish towel.) Stir cream into pureed soup, and season with salt.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and chill until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. If necessary, thin with water, and season with salt. Serve soup in chilled glasses, garnished with chives.
