Cold? You need something comforting like this pea and potato velouté. It’s a warm cream with a very delicate taste, light and very easy to prepare. Excellent with small toasted bread croutons. I prepared it with the Thermomix, but at the end of this article, I explain how to make it without it.

- 1 1/2 tbsp butter

Tools
If you prepare this velouté with the Thermomix, you’ll only need a potato peeler, the rest will be done in the bowl.
- Potato Peeler
- 1 Saucepan + lid
- Immersion Blender
Preparation of Pea and Potato Velouté
Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into chunks.
Peel the onion and slice it.
Put the onion in the bowl with 20 ml of oil and sauté (3 min, 212°F, speed 4).
Add the potatoes, peas, broth, and milk. Cook (20 min, 212°F, speed 1).
At the end of cooking, add the butter.
Then blend for 40 seconds at speed 6; you will obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream absolutely free of lumps. Adjust salt, if necessary (I didn’t add any because the broth was already flavorful).
In a saucepan, heat 20 ml of oil and sauté the sliced onion. Add the potatoes with a little hot vegetable broth and cook them for a few minutes. Add the peas, the rest of the broth, and the milk. Adjust the salt and cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat with the lid on. At the end of cooking, add the butter and blend everything with an immersion blender.
Serve the pea and potato velouté in single-serving bowls or individual plates; sprinkle it with freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with a little raw oil. If you like, you can accompany the velouté with toasted bread croutons. Enjoy! Paola
