Amazing, Elizabeth! So happy to hear this 🙂

Homemade chicken stock would obviously make everything better. Bravo, and thanks for letting me know!

I made this yesterday and it was the absolute best soupe vichisoisse I have ever made. One adjustment: I used half very mild homemade chicken broth and half water for the liquid. I use a little of the green stalk but not the green leaves.

In reply to Jim. The French are quite good about using as much of an ingredient as possible, and you're absolutely correct about the greens giving a different flavor and definitely color. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the soup, Jim! Thanks for letting me know :)

I usually only use the leek whites but using the entire leek gave the soup a new flavor and color. Very good!

In reply to Lydia. Thank you for your feedback Lydia! I love this soup with grilled cheese, or croque monsieur!

This soup is fantastic! I was out of heavy cream, so I used 1/2 cup of milk and 1 tbsp of butter as a substitute of sorts, but otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. It’s such a hit. So fragrant and filling. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers (probably with grilled cheese)! Thank you for sharing. 🙂

I cook this soup regularly as it is my husband’s favourite. Lucky for me it is an easy dish! My recipe is exactly like yours only living in the North of Scotland we NEVER eat chilled soup!
Thank you for the lovely recipes.

I made this soup last night and it is SO GOOD! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and didn’t even need to add cream (which is better for me because I’m allergic to dairy). Absolutely delish and so comforting! The only change I made was to throw 2 small sprigs of thyme into the pot while the potatoes and leeks were simmering. This was my first foray into French cooking and I can’t wait to cook more of your recipes! Thank you!
