Wild Garlic Soup
Any garlic lover who goes down to the woods today is in for a pleasant surprise: wild or bear's garlic is in season now
Ingredients
Method
1. Melt the butter, and add the onion, cooking on medium heat until the onion is soft but not coloured.
2. Add the potatoes and seasoning, stirring for a few seconds. Pour in the chicken stock and cook until the potatoes are almost cooked through.
3. Add the wild garlic and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Blitz the soup using a blender or hand mixer. Finally, stir in the cream and heat through. Season to taste
4. Optional extras for flavour variations: add some chopped parsley in along with the wild garlic, or add a pinch of mild curry powder to the seasoning before pouring the stock on, to give the soup added flavour.
