Etymology

The term 'vichyssoise' comes from the French word 'vichyssoise,' which is derived from Vichy, a spa town in France where it was purportedly created. The recipe for this soup is often credited to Louis Diat, a French chef who worked at the Ritz-Carlton in New York City in the early 20th century. He introduced the dish in 1917, inspired by the traditional potato-leek soup of his childhood in the Auvergne region of France. Initially served hot, Diat decided to serve it cold, making it a refreshing dish for warm weather. Since then, vichyssoise has become a staple in French cuisine and is celebrated worldwide for its elegant simplicity and soothing flavor.
