I’ve been making Julia Childs recipe for vichyssoise for over 40 years and this is almost exactly the same except it’s served chilled. This is the simplicity of French cooking at its best…easy yet delicious. She garnished it with chopped chives instead of croutons. I’m going to have to get some leeks and make it again!
Tried this for the first time 2 months ago and had it twice in two weeks! Now my parents are asking me to make it again because it is so delicious yet simple. Thank you as always :)
Delicious recipe. I really love this channel. Every now and then you will hear some famous chef talk trash about classic French cuisine, because it's supposed to have evolved insufficiently. But trust me; there's a reason why it's called "classic". I live in Barcelona and nearly every new restaurant that opens here is either a burger or streetfood place. In that environment, classic French recipes are more like a breath of fresh air, rather than something outdated. Made this for my girlfriend and scored some serious bonus points 😉
Good! And there is a reason why the classics in music have withstood the test of time. How much of today's pop music will be played in even 100 years, but Beethoven and Mozart will live on. And so will classic French food. Would you rather have food squeezed from a tube (on a moon base) or this soup, whilst listening to the 9th symphony, after a hard day of mining minerals on the lunar surface!! : )
Love this comment and I 100% agree. Not just trash talk about French cuisine, but most of the youtube so called chefs don't explain nearly as well as on this channel. AND, they almost always 'big' up their recipes with fancy edits or superlatives (trash talk!!!). No nonsense proper cooking here. I love this channel
If anybody out enjoys leeks and potatoes 🥔🥔then this beautiful delicious yummy leek and potato soup us for you as well that you so much Stephan @ French Cooking Academy for sharing this beautiful delicious yummy😋😋🥔🥔recipe and thank you so much for sharing the beautiful video @ French Cooking Academy 👍👍😀😀😋😋❤️❤️🌹🌹
Another great recipe. This is probably one of the best cooking channels on here. I've cooked many of Stephane's recipes over the past year, and I can't remember a single one which didn't work out. They're all brilliant. I keep a notebook with all the recipes I cook, and if something doesn't work out I adjust the quantities and process for next time, but with Stephane's recipes everything was spot on the first time.
I just found you and am very excited to be making this soup today. My French grandmother made this for me when I visited her, it is my most treasured food memory. She served it to me with a slice of crusty sourdough bread and some baby Anaheim peppers she let me pick from her garden.
@@tiaraauxier8742 She flash fried them in some olive oil, stems on and seeds in. Delicious with a little salt on the sourdough toast. Today, peppers on toast is my favorite breakfast. BTW, my soup turned out beautifully, but I still need to practice more. Fresh thyme, methinks.
@@michelinesarrail1790 thank you, that is so interesting. I'll have to try them. I have such wonderful memories eating at my great grandmother's house too. Family is so important
I realize this is an older video etc, but this is a fav. I am about to make it for the 4th time and only found the recipe 4 or 5 weeks ago. So very easy and everyone loves it. I use Miso for the stock - that’s the only change I make! Thank you!
Thank you very much for the recipes, dear author!😄 I made this soup with the vegetable stock from your other video and it tastes utterly perfect! The sweet taste of leek combined with the soft taste of cream are so excuisite, it tastes like something that would be served to you in some refined French restaurant! The texture is deliciously creamy and the soup is so filling!
Serrano peppers I've tried adding to my taste and loved the soup. But other than my Serrano peppers your recipe and instructions are great. I want you to try Serrano peppers to spice your next batch. This is my first season of raising my own leeks and will be repeating in my garden. Big THANKS for showing and teaching
You’re right. I’ve watched many of his videos over the last year or so. His videos have always been top quality. He is a great teacher and has a great catalog of videos. Thanks to your comment I finally subscribed.
I made this tonight for dinner, after I got home from work. It was super easy and DELICIOUS!!! Also I made the carrot rappe!!! I'm so happy I found this channel! Merci beacoup!!!! Please keep making video.
Here's a tip I learned by accident... hot liquids expand exponentially, so you really want your soup to cool quite a bit before you blend it, unless you want it on the kitchen ceiling haha.
So many methods for making this, ive seen ones with and without cream and veg stock. They all loom delicious to me so trying both to see which is best lol
Thanks for an very quick response, I make the vichyssoise without the onions and with chicken stock the rest is like like your recipe, I love fridge cold soups, I make gaspacho ,chicken puré,and a delicious pea soup,and eat them fridge cold all year round! Love your recipes!
Hi Stephane. First of, many thanks for your channel and bringing the beauty and simplicity of French cuisine to UA-cam and the 21st century. I have been researching this dish for quite a while and I was wondering if your ratio of leeks to potato is taken from Escoffier . I have found that with time it is tending to move in favour of leeks. Julia Child has a equal ratio of leeks to potatoes around 1960 while modern chefs are trippling on leeks compared to your ratio. Heston Blumenthal gives the reason for it, stating that leek makes for the flavour and potatoes for the consistency. He also recommends to precook the potatoes as leeks will only need 10 minutes of cooking time.
I've made this wonderful classic soup at least two times and it turned out great! Excellent recipe, simple and tasty. 😋 But when I strain it it gets clogged up in the strainer. Should I make it more liquid or use a strainer with bigger holes? I used a similar one to the one in the instructions. Merci! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always remember a great Julia Child show from years ago, now they are obtainable on Netflix, when she made this soup; it was on live TV in those days (PBS). One of her lines from that show, when preparing her ingredients was: "First you take a leek...…" But everyone one heard: "first you take a leak.." LOL. Nice recipe here Stephane; and you did not fall into that English "word trap"!!
Hi, I wanted to make this soup, and I wanted a French instructor, so I turned to you. You gave great instructions on the ingredients, method and desired outcome. Nicely organized, recorded and explained without any distracting music or nonsense. Do French recipes for this soup sometimes include garlic or is it a matter of preference or region?
Enfin quelqu’un pour faire des vidéos sur notre belle cuisine sans massacrer l'accent anglais ^^ (amicalement ). Pourrais tu faire une vidéo sur "comment préparer" ce que tu appelle le "vegetable stock" STP ? ou peut on en trouver dans le commerce ?
+harzallah Adam Bonjour sympa de voir un francophone sur la chaine. Alors ca te dirai une demo sur comment faire un consome de legume... Allez, c'est parti! Prochaine video: comment faire un bouillon ou consomme de legume. Bises a tous
I always love your videos man. I cut my culinary teeth on making soup (CIA book of soups) and I think it is the best way to get into cooking because it makes use of so many culinary skills. Furthermore, if you do it right, nothing beats a proper soup. Honestly, I am surprised that more restaurants don't offer it as an entree. And as you demonstrated, it gives you an opportunity to practice the art of presentation with a bit of garnish. (Less is always more). ;P
I agree with most of what you have said. I made a nice butternut squash soup just yesterday, and I always order this soup if I see it on a menu; hot or cold. I'll make it as soon as I can get some nice leeks. But more is more, especially if it is bacon!! ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 Hehe, like comedian Jim Gaffigan says, "Bacon is like the fairy dust of the cooking world. You can sprinkle it on anything and it instantly becomes better."
Love your videos! Can you please make an asparagus soup. I finally made a semi-decent soup, after several attempts, which has a nice green colour and not full of pulp. I would love to see your version. Thanks
Hey, lots of love from Australia man. Just wanted to ask how did they do the recipe back in the day without a blender? would it have just been more chunky? witha masher or something
I don't usually use a sieve when I make Leek and Potato soup, thanks for the tip. The other thing I noticed is the consistency of your soup isn't thick its a perfect
Thanks Geoffrey glad you like it. its a simple soup out of dozens I need to do, but it work well. Thinking about it I still have so much to cover on the channel still its crazy, I am going to have to post videos more oftens :o)
+The French Cooking Academy When I took myself through Julia Child's cook book, leek & potato soup was one of the first things I made. It's sooo good. I always thought of stuff with leeks as more English (British), but they seem to be used a lot in French cooking as well.
Hi Chef, where can I find the crème in Paris, France? I’m not sure if it’s called something else or if there is a brand you recommend? Thank you for your help. Merci
Question: Why do you add salt before leaving to simmer? I thought with soup you always add salt at the end in case of reduction, so the salt doesn't become too concentrated.
Bonjour chef. Since winter (if we can call it that) is around the corner here, I was studying some soups. At school just the other day I tested a delicious petit pois soup (peas, carrots, leek, celery and stock) and it was great. This soup you showed in the video is very interesting as well. At the begining you called it potage parmantier, but I also found it as vichyssoise. Are both names correct? When should we use one or the other? Merci beaucoup
Walter Morim hi Walter the seasons are a bit different everywhere all of you guys in America it seems to be spring summer, on your autumn winter ( same here) I am going to have to mix all seasonal recipes 😁 for the soup the vichyssoise is similar but different , it has oignons in it and it is made with chicken stock and it is usually serve cold . That's how things differ in french cuisine. Little variation and different names.

Stephan, "rock salt is more concentrated" ? You mean it is more dense, maybe? What the difference in using fine salt and rock salt for cooking soup, when it dissolves in one moment? Sorry for critic but for me it sounds nonsense. Really like and follow your videos. I do like to make this soup, but til end I put green leeks in cooking soup and stop boiling to present nice green colour and leek pieces. Thanks for work you are doing. I have got many ideas from your videos.
if you are not lactose intolerant you can just add butter at the end or even a dash of milk. if you are lactose intolerant you could be more adventurous and try a bit of coconut yogurt

Hi Sankalita here.. thankyou for your recipe..making it today
Thanks
Chef i made this soup The soup came out fabulous! Hats off to this fabulous warm comforting recipe. Thank you chef
Here's a tip I learned by accident... hot liquids expand exponentially, so you really want your soup to cool quite a bit before you blend it, unless you want it on the kitchen ceiling haha.
So you had the accident? Love the handle.
Immersion blender is safer. With a blender, air gets mixed in with the hot liquid and as it warms, the air expands. PV = NRT
not if you use a Bamix
@@raleedy only if you use the A blade to incorporate air. If you use the B blade, it will puree like crazy without lifting it
@@watchgoose Many blenders have only one blade.
That looks so good, and easy thank you so much chef, stay safe, take care, we're all in this mess together.
A simple yet delicious family favorite. I make a creme fraiche to swirl in or Greek yogurt if in a pinch. & sometimes bacon chips. Great job. (:
what a brilliant guy.thanks,Stephanie.👍
I bought potatoes and leeks today. I'm going to make this soup tomorrow!

Hi, this seems like a really good recipe, but I live in the US. Is there any alternatives I could use for double cream?
Double cream is heavy cream, like whipping cream between 35% and 40%
Hahahaha 😆you're the best cook

What is the equivalent, in the US, of "double cream"?
HI Seb from I could find the equivalent in america for double cream is heavy cream
@@FrenchCookingAcademy Not quite the same. I haven't quite found the equivalent here in New York, but heavy cream will do for this recipe
Looks more like Devonshire cream to me.
Nice. Subbed.
I love that this recipe is vegetarian. Looks delicious....can't wait to make it!
As usual, a great video! Will try it. Thanks.
Chives are a good substitute for parsley.
When we say quarters we mean cut it into 12-14 pieces lol, nice!
Lost in metric translation.
What happened to the extra leek that was set aside in the beginning?
Can i replace the double cream with anything else?
