"Veloute" is what Julia Child calls the base for "Cream of..." soup. It is quite easy and versatile. Saute 3/4 c. diced onions in 4 T butter until translucent. Add 1/4 c. flour and blend in well. Saute 3 more minutes, remove from heat, and add 1 cup hot liquid--either milk or broth. Whisk in well. Add 6-7 cups more milk and/or broth in whatever proportions you like and whisk well.
For my soup:
Add cooked Brussels sprouts, 3 peices cooked bacon, 1/2 c. parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Puree in batches with hand on the top of the blender (hot liquid expands when agitated=soup on your ceiling). Return to pot to adjust seasoning. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Made the burgers for lunch for the week. You all know my love of the lentil burger.
