Sweet Potato Vichyssoise

Created by ForeverMama on August 11, 2025

6 tablespoons butter
4 leeks (white parts only), well rinsed, dried, and sliced (I normally use up the white and the green parts, imho it works well)
6 cups chicken stock (preferably homemade, but a good quality store-bought works)
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
3 sweet potatoes, large, peeled and chopped

Step 1: Melt butter in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks and saute until soft and transparent.
Step 2: Add the stock, wine, and sweet potatoes. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 3: Stir in the lime zest and juice, milk, and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Puree the soup in batches in a blender until very smooth.
Step 5: If you are serving the soup hot, gently heat it and serve it with Peanut Noshes (found here: https://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/mothers-day-peanut-noshes-44947). If you are serving the soup cold, refrigerate it for several hours and serve it garnished with thinly sliced lime wedges. Either cold or hot imho; you can serve it with the lime slices.
