Vichyssoise is a French-style soup made of pureed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream, and chicken stock and is usually served cold.

Culinary Controversy

There is a low treat of debate among culinary scholars on a history of Vichyssoise. A few subscribe to the idea that it was created by Louis Diat, Chef at the Ritz-Carlton in New York City in 1917. Others contend that French chef Jules Gouffe was first to produce the formula, publishing a version around his 1869 Royal Cookery Book.
