Hello, Lykkers! Have you ever tasted the wild delight of ramson soup?

Today, let's explore how to whip up a delicious pot of ramson soup, a springtime favorite especially popular in European cuisine. Known for its vibrant color and garlic-like flavor, ramson (or wild garlic) transforms a simple soup into something extraordinary.

Grab your apron, and let's cook something delicious together!

Ingredients:

300 grams of fresh ramson leaves

1 large onion, chopped

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 liter of vegetable or chicken broth

200 ml of cream

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

Clean the ramson leaves thoroughly under cold water. Chop the onion finely, and make sure the potatoes are diced into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.

2. Cook the Onion:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn soft and translucent. This base will add a savory depth to the soup.

3. Simmer the Potatoes:

Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4. Add the Ramson Leaves:

Once the potatoes are soft, add the ramson leaves to the pot. Let them wilt for about 2-3 minutes – it doesn’t take long for ramson to cook.

5. Blend the Soup:

Use an immersion blender to purée the soup directly in the pot until it’s smooth and creamy. If a traditional blender is used, be cautious as hot liquids can expand.

6. Stir in Cream:

After blending, stir in the cream and heat the soup for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to taste and season with salt and pepper according to your preferences.

7. Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls. For an added touch, drizzle a little olive oil or a dollop of cream on top, and maybe sprinkle some fresh herbs if available.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy this soup with a slice of crusty bread or as a light dinner on spring evenings. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad.
