Bittman's Vichyssoise

We got this Vichyssoise recipe from the Times. It's super simple, and really tasty.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs butter
  • 3 potatoes
  • 3 leeks
  • 4 cups of stock
  • 1/2 cup of cream
  • chives

Method

  1. Peel and cube potatoes. Trim and chop leeks.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot.
  3. Add potatoes and leeks. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring, until softened.
  4. Add 4 cups stock. Boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Purée, then let cool.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup or more cream before serving.
  7. Garnish: Chopped chives.
