Julia Child’s Vichyssoise for JC100

This is for sure one of my all-time favorite soups, Julia Child’s Vichyssoise For JC100. I remember ordering this so many years ago so many times. Over the years I have also made this many many times. I prefer it cold like is it suppose to be served but Ken is not a fan, so he will have it hot.

I will see which way Amber would like later on today, I can’t remember if she has had it cold. Hot or cold it is fabulous!!

Even though it sounds so elegant, it is so very easy to make. Four main ingredients and that is all. Served cold it is a great summertime soup. If you have never had it you must try and make it!!!
