Ingredients
Serves 6
– Endives: 1 kg
– Milk: 1 liter
– Flour: 1 tbsp
– Butter: a small knob
– Garlic: 1 clove
– Grated Emmental cheese: a handful
– Salt
– Pepper
Preparation
Total time: 30 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 20 min
1. Prepare and sauté the endives
Trim out the tough core of each endive by cutting the stem into a cone shape — this helps to lessen their bitterness. Slice the endives into rounds and sauté them in a saucepan with the knob of butter, covered, for about 10 minutes until tender.
2. Add the garlic and flour
When the endives are very soft, add the crushed garlic clove. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for a minute or two over the heat to cook the flour slightly.
3. Pour in the milk and simmer
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper, then let the mixture simmer gently for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent the milk from boiling over.
4. Blend and add the cheese
Purée the soup with a blender until it’s silky and smooth. Return the velouté to low heat, stir in a handful of grated Emmental, and mix until the cheese is fully melted and the texture is even.
Serve the velouté
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately while hot, once the cheese has melted and the consistency is uniform.
