If your meal is missing color, make vichyssoise

purple potato vichyssoise
It almost looks like some strange abstract painting of "food" because of the purple color, but it really is a photograph of a bowl of soup. Mercedes of food blog Desert Candy made vichyssoise, a chilled potato soup, but instead of using plain old white potatoes, went with purple. The color of the soup is incredible, and hard to believe that there isn't a drop of unnatural food coloring in there. The recipe is super simple, with just butter, leeks, potatoes, water, salt and cream, plus the gorgeous chives as garnish.
