Vichyssoise, the classic chilled soup of potatoes, leeks, cream and sometimes butter, is rich and delicious—and high in fat. This low-fat version delivers the buttery flavor of the original by using yellow-fleshed potatoes and just a small amount of butter. Homemade stock will enrich the flavor and keep the sodium content modest. To avoid visible flecks of pepper, season the soup with white pepper rather than black.
