I'd do a cold soup, like a vichyssoise!. It's a good summer soup!. Here's a recipe (very easy to make)
2 potatoes
3 large leeks, washed well
3 tablespoons butter
3 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground white pepper
Fresh chives, to garnish
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes!. Remove the tops from the leek and finely chop the white bulbs only!.
Heat the butter in a large saucepan!. Add the potatoes and leek and cook gently, without browning!. Add the chicken stock and bay leaf, and simmer!.
Stir in the cream, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and cool the mixture in the refrigerator!.
Serve the mixture in chilled dishes and garnish with the chives!. If you have shrimp cocktail dishes, large martini glasses (especially those with ice compartments), sherbet Champagne glasses or other other interesting goblets, consider using them as an alternative to bowlsWww@FoodAQ@Com
