eiram, glad it worked for you. If you don’t put cream yet, you can freeze the soup, then thaw and add cream while you heat it up on the stove. Don’t boil it or the cream will curdle.

eiram, yes, leeks are bigger than spring onions. And you should only use the white parts. And yes, blend potatoes, broth, etc. together. Do the blending in small batches so you don’t clog the blender. Good luck.

yung onion leeks po ba yung me bigger/broader sort of pandan leaves? it’s different from onion springs, right? also, ibe-blender ko ba yung potatoes along with the sabaw/broth? or should i get the potatoes muna then blend then put it back sa broth? i wanna do this recipe since i tasted CPK’s potato-leek soup….thanks!!!

yes my folks both liked it, just found it strange that it was chilled as opposed to the cardinal rule in our household that soups are served steaming hot!

ha! the soup nazi is alive!!! (isn’t that how he was called in seinfeld?)

back on course – can I share with you that i have a very fond memory of vichyssoise…it was the first dish I ever cooked all by myself (i was all of 9 years old then – just grew tired of jazzing up our pet dog’s meals and decided to move up the market)…my dad was just so aghast that I dared serve a soup cold…and when I challenged him that that WAS the way to serve it, he knew just right then that he had a foodie for a daughter : )

Fried neurons that sounds cool. We could do kamote vichyssoise for orange and beet for red… Wysgal we don’t seem to be big on soups because it is so hot here??? But then why sinigang, tinola, mami, etc. Maybe with aircon they’ll eat more? Mulligatwny, lobster bisque, crab and corn – gosh I can think of at least 20 soups that I love. I used to work in NY and around the block was a famous little vendor known as the soup man. He used to sell only 3-4 soups a day and the lines were 30-40 people long. He was even the basis for a character on Seinfeld the TV show…
