Not a Vichyssoise but a good hearty welcoming soup which I have been making since I was at the Aspinall Arms, Great Mitton, Lancashire.
I have served this soup to Sarah Fergusson, The Duchess of York, Roger Moore, Michael Caine and many other famous people however the person who stands out in my memories is Egon Ronay when he asked for a second bowl when we were at the Great Tree Hotel, Chagford, Devon.
neverleavinsd ,And now you have essentially made it for me! I followed the recipe to a tee and was amazed how delicous it is!5y
tracey_lawes ,Really lovely soup. The first time we made it we used too many potatoes but on the second attempt we found that we preferred it with more potato. Definitely recommend this it’s wonderful.5y
jdriemeyer ,Delicious soup. I would leave it sort of chunky; it's best that way! Served with large croutons.6y
stephrichmond ,Warming, rich, tasty. I added a small pinch of hot chilli powder just to make it a little more peppery. Will definatley do this again.9y
valerie411 ,Very easy recipe! Instead of converting the measurements, I guessed as I went and came out great!10y
marilulis ,This was absolutely delicious - even my 11 year-old who hates anything veggies ate it all!11y
youngsd ,This is easy to make and very good. I had to convert the measurements and I added celery as well.11y
tarmacfeline ,Loved this! I added a heaped tbsp of soft cheese to the stock and some fresh Thyme. Delicious!11y
cooksalot1995 ,An absolute winner. My kids loved it and it was so simple to make. The hardest part was soaking out the grit from the leeks. I made this with soy milk since we are lactose intolerant and it was delicious!11y
dickywoollard ,Absolutely wonderful. Everyone who I have fed this too loves it and comes back for more.12y
