Very yummy! Added some egg noodles, diced potatoes and carrots to the pureed soup. Also didn't put it as much cream as called for. Very delicious and filling.

This is an excellent recipe. Yummy hot or cold. I also used half and half rather than heavy whipping cream and it was delicious. I just slowly added it at the end to taste. It was wonderful garnished with fresh chives and ground pepper.

Pretty much amazing, especially with extremely fresh ingredients. Good cold or hot, and with a little sour cream on top.

This was a great starting point. (Recipes exist to get ideas, not to follow.) I like vichyssoise, but am always a bit disappointed in the blandness. I added a clove of garlic and half cup of finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, lovage, oregano, majoram, savory, thyme, basil and a lot of chives). I garnished with more chives and fresh cracked pepper.

I made this soup for my family tonight. It is VERY good!!! My husband said he would prefer it hot though. We may try it again this fall/winter that way. It is a very strong, rich soup. We ate it with a flatbread ( Also found on AllRecipes :-)

Mmmm delicious. It is basicly a cold leek&potato soup, but the genious of it is the idea of serving it cold. I would never have thought of that. Very nice, smooth and pleasing in the summer heat. Must serve with a big chunk of bread for dipping.

Absolutely delicious! My first time with a cold soup, to make as well as only the second time I have eaten cold soup. I will make this often and will try the other recipe on this site. Much the same only it adds herbs.

I made this recipe this week and it was delicious. Being french, I'm ashamed to say this was my first attempt at Vichyssoise. I made it exactly as called and couldn't have enjoyed it more. I did sprinkle a little dill in the last step. I love dill and it really added something to it. Thank you for a great recipe.

Great soup! I made a BIG mistake but it is still delicious. I forgot to add the cream at the end (and I sent my guy out to the store in the morning to get some!!). It was delicious without but I am looking forward to making it again this week WITH the cream. We are now ENJOYING!!??? the first heatwave of the summer.

ok. I cheated and sampled the leek potato mixture as it was cooling. Awesome. But then I added the dairy - I used nonfat half and half - and suddenly this delicious soup became diluted, more fattening and less enticing. It was good. But prior it was exquisite. So next time, I'm adding the half and half a quarter cup at a time. Also, bacon bits and chives on top and with less cream a dollup of sour cream. Just like in baked potatoes! And who knows, may even serve warm instead of chilled. I'm out of control!

try using non fat half and half instead of the cream. Works very well and cuts out a lot of calories!

Just had gum surgery and my wife made this for me. Excellent. My wife even made herself a non-pureed batch without the cream and she loved it. Thanks.
