What Wikipedia says

Vichyssoise ( VISH-ee-SWAHZ, French: [viʃiswaz] ) is a soup made of cooked and puréed leeks, potatoes, onions and cream, chilled and garnished with chopped chives. It was invented in the first quarter of the 20th century by Louis Diat, a French-born cook working as head chef of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York.
