Sublimely Stylish Soup

Happy National Vichyssoise Day!
Vichyssoise is a thick velvety soup crafted from the basics...leeks and potatoes. Sublimely stylish, it's the off-white dress on the classic soup rack. Perfectly suited to any season, chilled in summer, gently heated in winter and easily accessorized...zing it up with shaved radishes or pink turnips, go boho with a swirl of purple potato purée, keep it green with a hint of organic avocado. Or serve it simply with a sliced baguette and a silver spoon.  ;)

I always serve soup with breadsticks or bread chunks or even soft pretzels. A friend of mine insists on dumping Fritos in his soup. What must-have accessory do you enjoy with your soup? Do you go seasonal with chilled soups in summer and hot soups in winter?

  1. I first learned of vichysoisse in cooking school, and it was soo delightful. I would love it with bread. I don't enjoy chilled soups in the summer nearly enough. I guess I am moving to New Zealand soon where it will be summer instead of winter- there's my chance!!
