Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2-3 pounds) Breadfruit
- 2 large Leeks (white and light green parts only)
- 1 large Russet potato
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups Chicken stock (or vegetable stock for vegetarian version)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the breadfruit by peeling it, removing the core, and cutting the flesh into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Clean the leeks thoroughly by cutting them in half lengthwise and rinsing under cold water to remove any grit. Slice the leeks into thin rounds.
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes.
In a large pot, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the sliced leeks to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.
Add the cubed breadfruit and potato to the pot and stir to combine with the leeks.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadfruit and potato are very tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a countertop blender.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and white pepper. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the soup to a refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Serve in chilled bowls, garnished with finely chopped chives if desired. Enjoy the creamy and refreshing Breadfruit Vichyssoise!
