I was scanning a food website about a month ago and came across a carrot vichyssoise recipe, I was intrigued, but not enough to make it right away. I sat on the idea for a while and made some modifications. I didn't write the recipe down but vichyssoise is normally made up of leaks and potatoes. I decided that I would replace the potatoes with sweet potatoes. It turned out amazing. I tied the vichyssoise warm and cold. I think that it had wonderful flavor warm and cold. I served it with Greek yogurt, it added a slightly tangy but creamy texture.
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes
2 leeks
6 carrots
6 cups chicken stock
Slice the leeks down the center and rinse under running water
Slice the leeks making half moons
Place leeks into cool water so the residual dirt can fall to the bottom of the container
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes
Peel and chop carrots into 1 inch sections
Place into a dutch oven and boil vegetables until tender
Blend in small batches with the lid part way open to allow for steam to escape
Serve warm or cold
