4. Mix the soup:
Once cooking is complete, remove the pan from the heat.
Mix everything together using an immersion blender (or in a blender in several batches).
You will get a smooth and creamy soup.
5. Add smoothness:
Add the liquid cream (optional but recommended for a more indulgent velouté).
Taste and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper if necessary.
6. Dressage and final touches:
Serve piping hot in bowls.
Decorate with a few fresh basil or parsley leaves, a drizzle of olive oil or a few drops of flavored oil (walnut, hazelnut).
Sprinkle with a little freshly ground pepper to enhance the taste.
