I was just talking to my parents yesterday how a 10lb bag of potatoes was cheaper than a 3lb bag, and how I haven’t made potato soup in a while. Then Chef comes along and drops this video! Life is wonderful friends, never forget that.

Last week I was talking about foods that I used to eat when I was a kid in Ireland that I've almost forgotten about now that i live in the USA and I specifically mentioned Potato Leek soup and thought to myself I should make it myself!

This recipe is incredible. I love it. I have made it a few times. I put it in the blender instead of using my emotion blender to get it smooth. Thank you Jean Pierre for your wonderful recipes. May you Rest In Peace. I cringe at the times he says he loves life. He’s cooking for Jesus now.

[@seanbryant2848]

Your timing is impeccable, dear Chef Jean-Pierre! August 12 is the birthday anniversary of Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, who promoted the potato as good, wholesome food for humans. Potatoes, as you know, were considered food for pigs, or even worse, as poisonous. Parmentier turned all that around, and this soup, in a little more primitive form (using water instead of stock) was originally called "Potage Parmentier".

[@JL-yo1du]

Look at the Tomato, leaves bake you sick but not the fruit, Cherry and Peach pits are toxic but not the fruits but coffee beans are the pit but developed caffeine to kill insects. Worth is always in balance with the worthless waiting to be revealed. Rice Bran Oil is the perfect oil for most cooking, a former waste product as was was cottage cheese, curds and whey, whey is processed for protein powder. The list is moderately long.

[@LibertyArmsCo]

I went to a French culinary school but never worked in the industry at all (unfortunately). The feeling I get when I watch your videos make me want to chase my passion of cooking professionally but I’m at a age where I cannot afford to start from the bottom and work my way up

[@JL-yo1du]

Probably as pile of Hispanics to compete with anyway.

[@markzalubas5793]

Love this soup. My mom was a big James Beard fan in the 70's (I now know how fortunate I was) so we had Vichyssoise often. We'd eat it hot and unblended (chunky) at night for dinner and then cold and blended (smooth) the next day for lunch. I make it for my family. It's important to start or continue traditions like these. I think of my mom (RIP) when I make her dishes and I hope my kids think of me when they make mine (or hers through me).

Chef I have been making this ALMOST exactly the way you did for years. The only thing I did different was to sweat the onion and leeks in about 4 tablespoons of butter. When enjoying it cold I also like to add Louisiana hot sauce. This is the dish that led me to truly understand what you mean when you talk about the pleasure of leaving it on your tongue to appreciate the flavor and texture before swallowing it. Thank you so much for sharing your gift and talent.

Thanks! nothing new here, I've been doing this so many times already, and it's so easy to get perfect. One of the best recipes. Only not always we have good leeks around, and you gotta have good leeks for this soup. One more thing - we add some finely ground white-pepper-corns (the peeled peppercorns) which adds just the tiniest "sting" to your byte of cold refreshing comforting soup. Dunno if that's "a custom" anywhere, but that's how I do it. Great, I'll make this soup tomorrow noon.

Thanks, Chef! Can't wait to make this. Reminds me of the first time I had Vichyssoise at a French restaurant in Stamford, CT 20+ years ago. Yes, Chef, my tongue still remembers the flavor and texture of that Amaaaaazing soup! I knew it was typically served chilled, but I got the sense the server thought of me as another brutish American diner, so I decided to play the role. When he presented the check, I offered my critique that the soup was delicious but the chef apparently forgot to heat it up because it was very cold! With raised eyebrows and pursed lips, I could tell he was silently saying, "idiot!" -- until after a few seconds he got my joke and we both laughed. We played out that scene every time I went back to that restaurant for their Vichyssoise.

[@paulmoe1]

Hi Chef. I made the soup today (let it cool for about 1 1/2 hrs). Couldn't wait 24 hours. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. It was great. Your video and instructions were right on. At first, when I was adding the chicken stock, it only took only 4 cups to "just cover" the veggies. However, after doing the immersion blend I found that the soup was way too thick, so I ended up adding the rest of the stock to get a much better consistency, as you stated. The green oil was fun putting on the soup and making the hearts design. We ended up adding a bunch of lines of green oil on the soup because it tasted so good, along with the dollop sour cream. I did add some fried bacon bits and some smoked kielbasa chucks to the soup to get something to chew on. I liked the idea someone on this thread suggested to save some of the potatoes and cube them and add them to the finished product. Anyway, thanks again for the great recipe. We'll be eating the rest of the soup for dinner tomorrow.
