200 grams of leek is only the white part, and it turns out to be quite large. It’s quite possible to take 300 grams.
3 potatoes is a little less than 500 g.

It is better to take heavy cream - 36%, but this is not important. Although according to the rules, when serving, some of the cream should be whipped and piled up. But (already tested more than once) the whipped cream settles in literally a minute, so I always just pour the cream on top without whipping it first. I assume that if you serve this soup cold, the whipped cream will stay in a “heap” longer.

Cut the leek into thin half rings (mine are about 3 millimeters wide) and fry on butter. There is no need to brown it.
I do all this right in the pan in which the soup will be cooked. It should have a fairly thick bottom. If you don’t have one, then simmer the leeks in a frying pan.

Add peeled and diced potatoes to the onion. Mix everything and fry and simmer for a short time, a couple of minutes. These will be the main two ingredients of vichysouz soup. Apart from them - only liquid and seasonings.

Add broth to the vegetables (I used chicken broth), bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Next add milk. Bring to a boil and turn off.
You can also use vegetable broth. Of course, all this can be replaced with water, but the taste of the soup will be simpler.

Using a blender, turn the soup into a smooth puree. Add half the cream (the other half is for serving) and season.

Return the soup to the stove and reheat. There is no need to boil anymore.

According to the rules, it should be served with chopped chives. I sometimes replace it with green onions, sometimes I use the juicy green part of the leek. This time I didn’t add anything, just garnished with parsley. If you want, you can use crackers for serving.
Serve vichyssoise - leek and potato soup with whipped or regular cream.
Bon appetit!
