Vichyssoise Viscosity?

Hey all,

I just made a vichyssoise and am concerned about its thickness. It's extremely thick (almost like Korean pumpkin porridge) when chilled, and even when it was hot it was very viscous.

Could someone describe to me the thickness of a perfect vichyssoise?

I know, a weird question.

Thanks!

  1. I think it's a matter of taste. My own personal preference is for something less viscous than you describe -- I would thin it with some of the same stock you used to make it. Hard to describe what I'd thin it to -- I guess the closest thing I'm coming up with to compare it to is tomato juice or a little thicker. But if you like it thick go for it!

      Thanks for the reply! I'll try it the thinner way just to see which I prefer.

        When it tastes like mashed potatoes, it's too thick.
