Cold Leek and Potato Soup (Vichyssoise)


I wanted something delicious and new that used more vegetables. This is delicious warm or cold, for dinner or for lunch. I like it with crusty bread and a green salad or fruit.

Ingredients
2 T butter
4 leeks, white part only, minced
1 onion, peeled and minced
1/2 lb potatoes, peeled and diced
1 quart chicken stock or water
Salt and pepper
1 C whole milk
Dill

1. Melt that butter and sauted the leeks and onion for 10 mins. Add the potatoes, stock and bring to a boil. simmer for 35 minutes.
2. Puree in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in sour cream or milk.
3. Refrigerate for 6 hours. Serve cold, sprinkled with dill.
