Sautee a nice amount of fresh Leek julienne in butter. Deglace with a dry white wine. Fill up with chicken stock and add potatoes cut into cubes. Bring to boil and simmer until the potatoes are soft. Add a fair amount of Creme Double, drop it into a blender and mix. You usually use the potatoes to thicken the soup, so you don't need to make any sort of "Roux". The cream and potatoes should take care of that part.
Strain it through a fine sieve. Bring back to boil, season, pour into soup plates, add some Creme Fraiche, a good spoon of Caviar onto the Creme, and sprinkle with finely sliced Chives.
NOW you have a nice Potato Soup!
and serve it cold right comrade?
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
