Ingredients:

Serving

1 garlic clove, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 medium leek, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 medium-size baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 quarts chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Directions:

Saute first 3 ingredients in hot oil in a Dutch oven until tender. Add cucumber and next 4 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Cool.
Process soup in batches in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
Beat whipping cream at medium speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold in chopped mint. Serve soup with mint whipped cream.
Note: Vichyssoise may be frozen up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
