Leek and potato soup, known as potage parmentier<\/em> in French, is a classic base soup recipe.\r\n\r\nWhat sets vichyssoise apart is the addition of cream\u2014and the fact that it is traditionally served chilled.\r\n

Who Invented Vichyssoise?<\/h3>\r\nWhile some say that the soup was created in 1859 in France by Chef Jules Gouffe, others give credit (as does Julia) to Louis Diat, a French chef who worked at the Ritz-Carlton in New York City. Diat claimed to have created the soup in the summer of 1917 as an homage to a leek and potato soup his grandmother used to make. As children, Diat and his brother would cool the soup down by stirring in cold milk. He called his creation creme vichyssoise glacee<\/em> after the Vichy region near where he grew up.\r\n
