  1. Place Parmesan into the Thermomix bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10. Remove from bowl and set aside.
  2. Place chicken in bowl and chop 10 sec/speed 7.
  3. Add milk, water, broth and potato and cook 15 min/Varoma/speed 1.
  4. Add Parmesan and, butter and egg yolks and blend 2 min gradually increasing to speed 10.
  5. Add cream and blend 20 sec/speed 10.
  6. Serve as is or with crumbled bacon pieces and herbs of choice.

Note:

  • If too thick, add more milk or water and blend 20 sec/speed 10.

  • I have forgotten to add the cream, and it’s been fine!
