Vichyssoise

Difficulty: difficulty level

Preparation time: 1h30min.

Since it’s so hot here these days and we have a lot of vegetables from the garden, I made another refreshing soup which is eaten cold: the Vichyssoise. This origins of this soup are not exactly known, but it is French for sure!!
