Mathieu… t'as déjà fait une crème de tomates?

Sarah Lange says:

Not even a pinch of pepper?
Really?
Also carrots are soooo sweet when using that quantity, so I don't comprehend why sugar is added.
Even when I'm cooking without oil, cream of carrot and parsnip / cream of carrot and ginger are naturally sooooo sweet without sugar.
It's not my intention to be critical, but I just don't understand. Does not compute!

mon dieu! let me guess, Escoffier died of a heart attack?

Rich Lord says:

keep your appreciation,luscious!

Rich Lord says:

the butter thing; i've heard that France can be split into north and south in regard to the use of butter i. e north and oil i. e south

fran bacon says:

Beautiful soup –

el blanco _ says:

Yup, that was really great. Surprisingly filling and goes well with a white fish as the main.

Md Abdus Subhan Chowdhury says:

hi, can i use Pumpkin instead?

Payton Posein says:

pretty good, could have been worse but could have been better

Moon Moon says:

Butter is not vegan. Really sad that I won't be able to make it

JZ Thompson says:

It's a rainy day, and I have 4 pounds of the sweetest organic carrots I've had in years, and a new bag of Yukon Golds, and a sweet onion. I'm on my way to the kitchen…

Rajesh R says:

Just salt for seasoning? No black pepper? I’m wondering how a soup would taste with just salt? Or did I miss this ingredient being added?

Delia says:

I always use mineral water when making soup. I can taste and see the difference, especially when I dont puree and keep as a broth. 🥣

aloealoe says:

Just tried this and it’s sooo delicious, I love it!!! 🥕🥕🥕

strawberriesandcandy says:

Perfectly slicing and dicing the carrots and potatoes only to eventually purée it all is the most French thing I’ve ever seen

Antonio Odescalchi says:

can we use clarified butter instead of normal butter? Does this prevent any brown burned bitter butter?

evelyn baron says:

I confess potage crecy bores me to death. It also reminds me of the Vichy government during WW11 which only someone like me would remember through my parents.

I think there is a place for fusion cooking so eventually my potage Crecy turned into a veloute accent missing with garlic ginger and traditional indian spices as we think of them in the west. Because I avoid a roux as thickener I found a potato worked really well. Not the same thing but works for me. And yes I have read the world according to Escoffier, which means nothing. You can learn to read music and not be a great musician; you can follow traditional rules in French cuisine and still don't have that inspired touch, which you have.

Peanut Buzzard says:

I made this twice. I used a Vitamix To purée the soup and didn’t need to filter afterward. Very nice easy recipe 👍

Chris says:

a lot of the home kitchen (big name) blenders are way overpriced and do a job like a cheap blender. found a commercial grade blender that is not too big, costs same as the fancy paintjob pitiful blenders, turn vegetables into a puree that is superfine without any lumps.

Maria Bountali says:

For a non-dairy alternative, would you add coconut cream instead of double cream?
