Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the leeks lengthwise and then cut into thin slices. Wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
- Dice the onion, celery, and potato into small, uniform pieces.
- Chop the fresh parsley and flake or dice the smoked salmon.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks, diced onion, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potato and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Be sure to let it cool slightly before blending and hold the lid down with a kitchen towel to avoid spills.
5. Add Sour Cream and Salmon:
- Once the soup is smooth, stir in the light sour cream until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in the smoked salmon pieces, reserving a few pieces for garnish if desired.
6. Season and Serve:
- Taste the soup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
- Ladle the vichyssoise into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with the chopped fresh parsley and any reserved smoked salmon pieces.
- Vichyssoise is traditionally served cold. If you prefer, let the soup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled or reheat if you prefer it warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the leeks are thoroughly cleaned to avoid any gritty texture in your soup.
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
- Blend the soup until completely smooth for a silky texture.
- Chill the soup completely before serving if you prefer a traditional cold vichyssoise.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley or a few slices of smoked salmon for an attractive presentation.
This smoked salmon vichyssoise is a versatile and delicious soup that can be served hot or cold, making it suitable for any season. Its rich, smoky taste paired with the creamy base creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is sure to impress. With a few simple ingredients and some careful preparation, you can create a gourmet dish that will elevate any dining experience.
