Wild garlic is a wonderful ingredient that is both delicious and healthy. It belongs to the allium family and grows mainly in damp forests and along riverbanks. Wild garlic has an intense garlic flavour and is often referred to as a wild vegetable. It contains many important nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, potassium, magnesium and flavonoids. These nutrients can help improve heart health and immune system health.
A great way to incorporate wild garlic into your diet is through a delicious wild garlic soup. This soup is easy to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. It is creamy and has a delicious flavour that is enhanced by the wild garlic.
To prepare this soup, you need wild garlic, onions, potatoes, vegetable stock and cream. First, sauté the onions in olive oil and then add the potatoes. Then add the vegetable stock and bring the soup to the boil. Once the potatoes are soft, the wild garlic is added and everything is pureed. Finally, the cream is added and the soup is heated again.
This wild garlic soup is not only delicious, but also a great way to get more healthy nutrients into your diet. Try this recipe and let the delicious taste and health benefits of wild garlic convince you.
And if I don’t have any potatoes at home, I use 1 teaspoon of locust bean gum to bind the potatoes, mix it with a little cold water and stir it into the soup. Instead of whipped cream, I use crème fraîche, which makes the soup creamier.
