About the cook: Hi my name is Elise, my husband's family also refers to me as the saladwife. I am a mom of two wonderful little picky food critics aged 2 and 4. Did I mention we eat primarily plant based. Feeding kids is a daily challenge. hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my kids do.
About the dish: Who said soups were only for cold or rainy days. This Fennel Vichyssoise is great served hot, warm, or cold. Soups are a great way to sneak in veggies for any picky eaters big or small.
