POTATO LEEK SOUP (VICHYSSOISE)
There is nothing better on a chilly, damp day than a steaming bowl of potato leek soup; and conversely, few things are as delicious and refreshing on a hot, sweaty day than a bowl of ice cold vichyssoise.

Puree mixture with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender. Whisk in heavy cream and creme fraiche. Heat over medium heat. Add more salt, if needed, and cayenne pepper. Do not boil.
- Serve with a drizzle of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

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.
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.

CHUNKY POTATO LEEK SOUP
My family and I crave a steaming bowl of potato leek soup on a cold winter evening, but we don't want the butter and fat content of regular soup recipes. So I created this lighter version. I have shared it with many folks, and everyone who has tried it loves it for the robust, satisfying flavor. -Christine Frye, Odessa, Missouri

Steps:
- Put the potatoes, onions, most of the leeks (keep a handful of the white leek for later) and chicken stock into a soup maker and press the 'smooth soup' function. Make sure you don't fill the soup maker above the max fill line.
- Once the cycle has complete, add most of the cream and all the milk, and blend again briefly. Use the 'keep warm' or 'heat' function to keep the soup warm while you make the topping.
- Finely shred the remaining white part of the leek. Heat the butter in a small frying pan, and gently cook the leek for a few mins until it is softened but not coloured.
- Drizzle the remaining cream over the soup, and top with the leeks, a scattering of chives and some black pepper.

Steps:
- Trim the leek to remove the root and any damaged outer leaves, but leave the remainder of the leaves intact. Split the leek in half lengthwise, and cut it into 1/4-inch pieces. Clean the leek by immersing the pieces in a bowl filled with cold water. Lift the pieces from the water and place them in a sieve.
- Heat the oil in a pot. When hot, add the leek and onion, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until they soften and begin to brown lightly. Add the stock, potatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 30 to 40 minutes, until tender.
- Strain off most of the juices and reserve them. Add the solids with a little of the juice to the bowl of a food processor and process briefly, just until pureed. (If too much juice is added to the processor bowl, the mixture will become too foamy.) Mix the puree with the reserved juices. You should have about 7 cups. The hot soup can be served immediately, with croutons if desired.
- For cold leek soup, cool the soup and stir in the milk, chives and Tabasco sauce. Serve cold.
