The autumn ingredients they are the right inspiration to prepare rich and fragrant velvets. With pumpkin, potatoes, legumes, mushrooms and chestnuts. And why not, pampering us a little with some truffle flakes or the succulent shellfish pulp.
But even the simplest recipes hide some pitfalls. And if the velvety is a dish that does not require particular attention to cooking, it often puts us to the test with consistencies.
The result can in fact be too liquid, dense, dry or watery. Other times, simply, not quite creamy. How to avoid it?
One of the simplest methods to solve this problem is to ask for help from some extra ingredients. Here are the most strategic ones.

The Yogurt

Dense, delicate and perfect to give a bit of character to our velvety, Greek yogurt is what we need to avoid the broth effect. Add it to the end, directly into the pot with the heat off. The result will be even better if our velvety has warmed up a bit.

The creaming

Let's take inspiration from the creaming of risottos to make creamy and spoon-proof pasta dishes. Just like with rice, we will add grated Parmesan or Parmesan cheese to our velvety soup, perhaps accompanying it with a small knob of butter. Incorporate these ingredients, mix with a wooden spoon until you reach the desired consistency.

The cheese

An ingredient sly to make the creamy creams is cheese. Choose delicate products that do not alter the flavor of the dish and do not exceed the salt content. Among the most suitable: robiola, crescenza, stracchino, squacquerone, mascarpone and cream cheese. If they are particularly firm, help yourself with a whisk to incorporate them well.

Cream

When you want to get a creamy result, asking for help with the cream is a must. This is in fact able to give the right consistency to creams and velvets, combining all the possible ingredients without creating unpleasant contrasts. Or give notes of acidity that are not liked by everyone.
