Vichyssoise (Potato Leek Soup)

Cold potato soup? Sounds strange...like someone didn't feel like heating up the leftovers. But I wanted to taste this and the recipe didn't look too intimidating. Besides, it's so much fun to say vichyssoise (Vee-shee-SWAHZ). I had some leeks I was trying to use up. Loved this recipe (thanks martygreene!) and I liked that it didn't need the butter called for in a lot of other vichyssoise recipes. It tasted good both hot and cold (though I still prefer it hot).
