The perfect way to harness all that wild garlic growing in Spring? This Creamy Wild Garlic Potato Soup. Spicy and full of flavour, this vegan treat is a nutritious showstopper and oh so comforting.
Harnessing wild garlic season
When it comes to produce, I’m always excited when Spring rolls around. Seeing all the delicious fruits and vegetables starting to grow makes me happy. Especially when it’s time for one of my favourite Spring greens wild garlic. Also know a ramson, wood garlic, or bear leek.
The perfect way to harness all the flavour of this delicious plant is to turn it into a comforting bowl of soup. By using potatoes next to the main star wild garlic, you skip some of the heavy calories of double-cream. The best part? Using potatoes keep this dish vegan and make it super creamy when blending. Winner!
Tips for making this Creamy Wild Garlic Potato Soup
This soup is easy and quick to prepare. Here are some useful tips for the best result:
- If the soup is too thick after blending, add a little more vegetable broth and let simmer shortly before serving.
- Instead of the immersion blender, you can also use a blender. Let the soup cool slightly, transfer into the blender, and blend until smooth.
- Use soya cream as a topping to keep this dish entirely vegan.
- Double the ingredients for a big batch of soup to have a nutritious and easy meal-prep option.
