I just copied this to my files; it sounds very interesting so I'm posting it here, too. If you fix it before I do, let us know what you think of it.This is from Chef Jackie Olden:

Apple Vichyssoise

2 large leeks, washed and thinly sliced, white part only

1 small onion, peeled and chopped

3 baking potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 c applesauce

1 t butter

2 c chicken stock

Pinch of cinnamon

1/4 c heavy cream or lowfat yogurt

Melt butter in a medium pot. Add the leeks, onion, and cook until soft. Add potatoes

Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the stock and applesauce. Simmer for

25 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

Puree mixture in food processor or blender, until very smooth. Stir in cinnamon.
