Vichyssoise Soup image

This is a great cold and creamy soup for a hot summers day. Vichyssoise Soup was created in America. I have added some Caraway Seeds and Sour Cream to give it an "American Jewish" taste. Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. The leeks are very mild and mellow, and they add a nice sweetness to the soup.
