The most famous cold soup is Vichyssoise, which is a cold potato soup. This one is a little kicked-up.
2 tablespoons Butter
2 Leeks, chopped
1 Onion, chopped
2 Potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups Chicken Stock
1/4 teaspoon Crab Boil
1 Bay Leaf
Creole Seasoning to taste
1 cup Heavy Cream
Fresh Chives, chopped for Garnish
Heat butter in a skillet. Add leeks and onions. Sauté until the onions are transparent, but do not allow them to brown. Add stock, crab boil, potatoes and bay leaf, and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are soft. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season to taste. Pour mixture into a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth. Chill until time to serve. Serve in chilled bowls and garnish with chives.
Enjoy!!!
