Can cool and yummy both fit into a bowl? When you’re looking at avocado vichyssoise, it can.
Vichyssoise is traditionally a cold soup – made with potatoes, leeks, stock, and cream. We’ve switched out the cream and replaced it with smooth and luscious avocado. It’s the sort of thing that warm summer afternoons were made for.
Serve your vichyssoise chilled, with a side of crispy Parsnip Cakes .
