This week we walk in the steps of a famous French chef called Joel Robuchon and try to recreate and adapt one of his recipes. “The crémé légère de haricots au lard” is a creamed bean soup that is blended with chicken consommé, whipped cream, mushroom and pan fried pancetta. The whipped cream added at the end adds a real fluffiness to the soup. Note: the original recipe uses truffles but for today porcini mushrooms will do. 🧑🍳 ENROLL IN MY ONLINE COOKING CLASSES:
