The origin of this well-known vegetable soup, vichyssoise, is not without controversy. Created by a French chef in America, the birth-place of this soup has long been disputed. Is it French or American? This week's episode briefly explores the interesting history of the vichyssoise soup and why it's commonly mistaken for another classic French soup called 'potage parmentier'. This recipe version is based on chef Louis Diat’s dating back to 1900 at the Ritz Carlton in New York. I guess it is technically American then. Known as the 'creme vichyssoise', it's a simple recipe made with leeks, potato and onion, and served cold. Great for cooling down if you're experiencing hot weather right now. And if you're in the heart of a winter like me, you can also enjoy it warm. . . . . . #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #vegesoup
