  • 800 ml vegetable stock
  • 200 g Parmigiano Reggiano grated
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Peel the carrots and briefly blend them in a food processor.
  • Melt the butter in a pan, then add the carrots and a pinch of salt. Sauté them for a few minutes over high heat; add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
  • Gradually pour in the corn flour, stirring with a whisk.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Put 30 g of Parmigiano Reggiano aside, then make the crisps by pressing the cheese into small rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle them with the poppy seeds, then bake in the oven at 390°F (200℃) for 3 to 4 minutes. Take them out of the oven and allow to cool.
  • Garnish soup with remaining Parmigiano Reggiano, rosemary sprigs, salt and pepper. Serve with the Parmigiano Reggiano crisps and slices of grilled corn.
