Vichyssoise or leek cream is a delicious cream to prepare in summer.
It is a very traditional recipe. This version respects the original ingredients but we are going to add a smaller amount of apples, they will give it sweetness and a delicious flavor.
Although it is a cream that can be consumed all year round, it is true that when cool in summer it is guaranteed to be a success.
To accompany it, you can add a few cubes of toasted bread, chopped chives or parsley, or some fried strips of leek to give it a crunchy touch.
For 4 people:
Ingredients:
Olive oil
500 g leeks, white part only
2 golden apples
500 g of potatoes
Salt and pepper
750ml-1L of water
100 ml evaporated milk
Chopped parsley.
Preparation:
Put the tall Mineral saucepan on the heat with a little oil and sauté the sliced leek, without letting it color for about 5 minutes.
Add the diced apples and potatoes to the saucepan. Cover with water, season with salt and pepper and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
Take out a little broth depending on how thick we like it and add the evaporated milk.
Blend until very fine, although you can then pass it through a sieve.
