Lower Fat Vichyssoise
Whether you prefer to eat it warm or cold, Vichyssoise is one of the best soups around. Not all recipes are made with the chicken broth, but I think it imbues the soup with a richness that simply cannot be achieved with water.
Notes
More often than not, Vichyssoise is served cold. To do so, simply chill the soup for about 4 hours before garnishing and serving.
