Creamy patizon soup is a cozy hug on a plate that warms body and soul. This simple but extremely tasty recipe is a gem that can become the heart of any family lunch or dinner. Its secret lies in a balanced combination of delicate patisons, aromatic onions and garlic, which together create a base full of flavors and aromas. The addition of vegetable or chicken broth adds rich depth to this soup, while the creaminess of the cooking cream accentuates its delicate texture, making it irresistibly smooth and velvety soft.
It is prepared with love and care, where every step of preparation contributes to the perfection of the final result. It starts with cleaning and slicing the patisons, opening the way to their sweet yet delicate flavor. This is followed by sautéing the onion and garlic in olive oil or butter, which ensures that all the flavors are nicely locked in and ready to mingle with the other ingredients. The broth then brings all the flavors into a harmonious whole, and after blending with an immersion blender, a smooth, tempting soup is created.
However it’s served, with chopped parsley or a sprinkling of thyme, each serving is a festive moment that stops time and allows you to enjoy the present moment. This creamy patizon soup is not just a meal; it’s an experience that reminds us that something completely magical and unforgettable can emerge from simplicity.
