    Two of us enjoyed the vicyssoise version of the soup. I was generous with my spices ( thyme, sage) which gave the soup a nice flavor compared to the usual plain potato/ leek flavor. I thought using one potato was skimpy, so I used two and liked the results. I'd definitely make this again- it was one of the better cold potato soup recipes I've made- and I’ve made many as it’s an Easter day tradition at our house.

    We enjoyed the standard version of this simple homey soup. Nice with croutons.

    I made the standard version. It was fine, but a bit boring.

    I made the variation with fennel and it was pretty good. I found that the Milk and broth mixture made for a slightly richer stock which was nice, but I'm not sure it was that much better than straight stock versions of potage parmentier I have tried elsewhere. The fennel isn't a bad touch but you need to go with a very big fennel bulb otherwise the flavour might get lost in the leeks.

    p. 66 - I made the Fennel version of this soup and we really enjoyed it. I'd say the potatoes were the predominant flavour and if I were to make this version again, I'd use 2 fennel bulbs. Tasty and not rich given the use of milk vs cream. K - 7.5
