Mooses´s Weekend Soup Recipe: Vichysoisse

6 medium-size Leeks
2 medium-size Onions
3 medium-size Potatoes
app. 5 dl Vegetable Stock

50 gr Butter
2 dl Cream

Salt and Pepper
handful of chopped Chives


Clean, de-grease, de-grit, whack and chop the veggies. Simmer leeks and onions slowly in butter, do not brown. When soft, add the stock and tatties. Season and cook gently until tatties are soft. Press through a sieve or as being a lazy bastard, put the stuff in a blender and liquify - but sieve the grits out at the end anyhow. Reheat gently and whisk in butter and cream.

Serve hot or refrigerator-cold with a generous sprinkling of chopped chives and a swirl of lightly whipped cream. Serves 6 Extraordinary Gentlemen. Chilled French white wine balances the healthiness nicely - one box of wine serves 2 Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Mooses says: Enjoy your Leek!
