      Title: Gwyneth Paltrow's Corn Vichyssoise
 Categories: Vegetables, Potatoes, Dairy, Citrus
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
      2 md Leeks; white & light-green
           - parts only, coarse chopped
      5    Ears shucked corn; kernels
           - cut from cobs, cobs
           - reserved
      1 c  Coarse-chopped peeled potato
      4 c  Good-quality vegetable stock
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
      1 tb Fresh lemon juice
    1/4 c  Creme fraiche or sour cream
      1 tb Fine chopped fresh chives
 
  Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add
  leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin
  to soften, about 5 minutes. Add corn kernels, reserved
  cobs, potato, and stock. Season lightly with salt and
  pepper. Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil.
  Reduce heat to simmer, cover with lid slightly ajar, and
  cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 35
  minutes.
  
  Discard corn cobs; let soup cool slightly. Working in
  batches, purée soup in a blender until very smooth. Set
  a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl; strain,
  discarding solids. Chill soup until cold. If too thick,
  thin with water by 1/4-cupfuls. Stir in lemon juice, and
  season with salt and pepper. Spoon a dollop of crème
  fraîche atop each serving and sprinkle with chives.
