    Those leeks are very common where I live but they're not that dirty, sure we rinse them out a bit but. Maybe they clean them before putting them in the grocery store?

    You have a lot of great recipes, great videos, and you have been at it for a while. You got everything under the Sun on this channel. You are entertaining and I'm surprised you can cook. I thought you were just a baker.

    Love love your recipes John!!
    BUT
    When you cut the leeks and put them in water like you did, a lot of the flavours get washed away!
    Instead pull apart leaf by leaf wash, drain then chop them up.
    Try that next time and you will notice the difference!
    Thank you for all your beautiful recipes! 💕🌻🇳🇿

    We grew up with vichyssoise. My mother made an excellent one with homemade chicken broth to start, a touch of freshly-grated nutmeg, and snipped chives for garnish over thin little ice chips in the center to keep everything ice code at service. She used Half-and-Half rather than cream.

    Served hot it was Potage Parmentier, even though the real one doesn't have cream or Half-and-Half in it. She didn't see the point of changing the recipe considering she was already using a cross between cream and milk rather than just cream. Still much better than iced soup for serving during Chicago winters off the lake. And if you think Chicago's winters are cold, try it on a cliff over Lake Michigan!

    One last thing: the name is pronounced "vee-shee-SWAHZ," not "vee-shee-SWAH." The terminal "e" forces the pen-terminal "s" to be pronounced, which in French vocalizes as a "z."

    I really didn't like chives when I was a child- now I love them! Like celery they are a MUST in homemade chicken stock!
    Strange how the colour of food mattered to me in my childhood. Green was always 'yerk' – maybe many of us share these memories 😀
    Thank you for this great recipe and the entertaining Video!!!

    I really like my vichyssoise as white as possible, so I never brown the butter and use only extra-white leeks, sliced thinly as to cook them quicker. I also use stock made only with chicken carcasses and water. I think it looks even more elegant that way.
