The basic recipe:

http://www.recfoodcooking.com/sigs/J...d%20Bowls.html

I had to hunt for the small (demi) bowls/boules of sourdough bread at
the Publix bakery. Then I couldn't find leeks! The bigger "new"
grocery store didn't have them. Heh. I found them at Food Lion. Also
fresh parsley, because, unlike the old original recipe I did use freshly
chopped curly parsley.

It's delicious, very easy to make soup. It's fun in that you also eat
the bread bowl.

Hardly. I already had the cream, chicken stock and potatoes.

My dinner was breaded veal chops with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed
asp1eragus.

Jill, I do not remember if you have access to a Trader Joes near you, but they have frozen Leeks. They are very nice. SF turned me on to them.

This is certainly a reply to a very old post of mine. I haven't made
potato leek soup this year. It's still good soup, though.

Nope, rosie, no Trader Joes. I don't know why someone dredged up this
year old post. I'm not currently looking for leeks but I'll keep frozen
in mind for the future. It is a very good soup recipe, though. Even
without the bread bowls it is quite tasty.

That's aka Vichyssoise and I've made it many times using the NYT
cookbook recipe. It's very tasty but I do two things
differently.. I eat it hot and I don't puree it. I like it
chunky.

To puree and chill it to eat? Oh man...no way that will ever
happen here. ;-o

I don't remember where I got the recipe. I eat it hot, too. Cold soup
makes me shiver. LOL

Doesn't happen here, either. I use the stick blender and puree it in
the pot. BTW, those toasted bread bowls are delicious. You hollow out
the center (save the innerds for making bread crumbs), brush with melted
butter and garlic and toast them. You get to eat the bowl. Got a
problem with that?

No not at all. I remember that was trending in the 80's (oh hi
there, Dsi1) but I never did try it. I'm sure it was good,
especially with butter and garlic then toasted. That sounds like
a bonus.

Oh hi Gary. Last night I had a butternut squash/lobster bisque. I think a vichyssoise would have been nicer - it would have been lighter fare but it would not have fit in with the fantasy seafood sampler. I wish vichyssoise would be trending here but there's not much chance of that happening.

Even without the bread bowls I'm not 102. What's not to when you can
eat the bowl the soup is served in?

Well, I'm not counting carbs no am I on a diet. Besides, potato-leek
soup is very tasty even without the bread bowl.
