(Vichyssoise) Leek and Potato Soup image

Vichyssoise or Leek and Potato Soup is one of my all time favourites. This particular recipe uses no milk. It is creamy and delicious. I had a bowl this morning and squeezed a little lemon juice in mine, it gave the soup another layer of flavour. I love this recipe.
