Good and simple? Velouté sauce. Literally put a bunch of vegetables in a pot with water, wait a few dozen minutes so they all get soft and then blend them. Last time I did it with tons of stuff like leeks, potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, etc. but it actually turned quite delicious. Experiment with it and you'll find something you like, otherwise you can go with the typical leeks and potatoes soup. Can't go wrong with that.

You told you that was veloute? A veloute is a white/blonde roux that you add a light stock to, the blended veggies would be nice with it though

Here in Italy we call what I said "Vellutata" so I assumed it was the same as Velouté. Maybe that's not the case, though. What I meant was blended vegetables with croutons and toasted seeds on top.

Not that dude, but I may try it.. it really does sound delicious.

I google searched Vellutata, and it showed me the English wiki site for Velouté. So I clicked on the link and changed language to Italian, it showed me "Salsa Vellutata", changed language to French and it showed me "Sauce Veloutée".

So I guess Wikipedia agress with you. Keep in mind that there are regional differences in how food is prepared, and how it's eaten.

Spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce is probably the most common food the whole planet eats, but in middle east they add tumeric to the meat and sometimes brown the cooked pasta in tumeric + oil, In Denmark they fill it with garlic, in some German towns they put sugar and honey in it.

i'm not who you're talking to so maybe they know why but I didn't have spaghetti without honey until I was an adult.
my dad would only eat onions that had been cooked to translucence in butter and covered with honey. I never learned why but I'm assuming he has specific reasons. he was really into ayurvedic cooking and weird WASP shit so idk where he got it from. everything with onions also had honey. spaghetti sauce, liver and onions, breakfast hash, etc.
I'm still confused by it but he's dead now so I'll never know.

Don't ask me, lol after I heard about it, I actually tried it. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good and I would always prefer it unsweetened.
Now that I remember ...in Denmark they also put sugar in it as a flavor enhancer. They add like a small tea-spoon to a 6-10 liter large pot.
>>16943042
Did your dad try to make caramelized onions? Also often people who are into "health diets" tend to both avoid and over indulge in weird stuff. Specially boomers, who have health issues.
My dad used to eat 1 liter olive oil a week, because his doctor told him 1 tablespoon a day is good for him. He would also collect pomegranate skin, dry them and rub them on his gums. Collect the outer skin of onions and use it to make tea. Eat a whole package of Digestive biscuits a day, because some youtube-doctor from Iran said it was good.

I work in retail, and younger people tend to drink ginger shots, tumeric shots or make 1-5 liter sellery smoothies a day.

Caramelized onions are actually fucking great if you know what you're doing and you're using prime ingredients (see Tropea's red onion caramelized, on top of bruschettas). However, pasta, tomato sauce, meat and... honey? That sounds fucking disgusting lol
