Despite its association with French cooking, this chilled soup was actually created in New York in the early 1900s by chef Louis Félix Diat at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. A simple leek and potato soup is whizzed up until it’s super-smooth, then chilled to give it a creamy, luscious texture that’s perfect for summer.

As it’s served cold, you need to make this recipe in advance – if you’re in a rush, you can fill a sink with cold water and submerge the base of the pan in it, stirring regularly to speed up the cooling process.
