Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 grams butter
- 40 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 liters chicken or vegetable stock
- 250 milliliters cooking cream (or heavy cream)
- 4 tablespoons Zaanse mustard (or any coarse-grained mustard)
- 100 grams streaky bacon (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 piece leek (optional, for garnish)
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Gradually whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, but do not let it brown.
3. Slowly add the stock to the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Once thickened, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cooking cream and allow the soup to heat through, without boiling.
5. Add the Zaanse mustard to the soup, stirring until fully incorporated. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
6. If using bacon, slice it into small strips and fry in a separate pan until crispy. Set aside for garnish.
7. If using leek, thinly slice the white part and sauté it gently in a pan until softened (optional for garnish).
8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crispy bacon and/or sautéed leek, if desired.
9. Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
