Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook Pancetta

    In a large pot, over medium heat, add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add butter and melt. Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until onions are translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth

    Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Blend Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer to a blender in batches.

  7. 7

    Add Cream and Season

    Stir in the heavy cream, reserved pancetta, salt, and black pepper. Heat through but do not boil.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the veloute into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
