Lentil Velouté with Cabbage and Toasted Brioche
Whipped cream flavored with coffee brings an unexpected but welcome layer of earthiness to this creamylentil soup. Crispy bacon and mushrooms, plus a slice of toasted brioche, will transport you to the bistros of Bordeaux. Gently cooking the lentils just past tender and then giving them a quick puree in the blender yields a silky consistency—no strainer required.
