Vegan Vichyssoise
* Plus 2 hours and 30 minutes of rest and refrigeration
The vichyssoise is a very light and easy-to-use cold cream, ideal for the warmer times of the year.
Although there is no agreement about the inventor of this cold soup, since there is doubt between two French chefs and one Basque, what there seems to be no doubt is that his name owes it to the city of Vichy, located in the heart of France, and specifically to the feminine femininity of this one.
This cream also keeps the mystery of the place where it was created, because both France and the United States claim their nationality. And, although there is evidence of a very similar dish in the recipes of 1869 published by the French chef Jules Gouffé , the thing is complicated by the fact that it appeared for the first time officially and with the name and characteristics that have transcended until our days, at the beginning of the XXth century, in the letter of the hotel Ritz-Carlton of New York, where originally it was registered with the name of crème vichyssoise glacée .
The flavor of this dish is extremely delicate, and its texture is smooth and creamy, which together with the simple thing that is to prepare and the temperature at which it is served, makes it a must for spring days and, especially , Of summer.
But undoubtedly, the best thing about this cream is its composition, based solely on ingredients of vegetable origin, which translates into a dish full of flavor and aromas, totally free of lactose, cholesterol and trans fats, which does not cause heavy digestion.
This summer soup is rich in fiber , carbohydrates , flavonoids , alliin , allicin , amino acids , vitamins C , E and group B ( B6 and B9 or folic acid ), sulfur , calcium , phosphorus , magnesium , potassium , sodium , zinc and , in smaller quantities, beta carotene , copper , iron , manganese and selenium .
