  • Known under the name of "Vichissoise soup" this recipe was created by a French chef in exile in the U.S.
  • It is a soup that is eaten chilled in the heat of the summer. Personally, I enjoy the blend of leek, the potato and crème fraiche flavour. Here, I will give you a recipe for a hot version of this French traditional soup.
