Sweet Potato, Wild Garlic and Spinach Soup

April 30, 2015 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 49 Comments

I love wild garlic. It smells incredible and at this time of year it’s so abundant and of course it’s FREEEEEEEE.

We went foraging a few weeks ago and it was lots of fun. We came home with a bulging bagful of fragrant leaves and I’ve already made a wild garlic oil, a pesto and this soup:

You will need:

4 small sweet potatoes diced
1/2 large red onion diced
4 handfuls of wild garlic, roughly chopped ( I just used the leaves)
2 handfuls of baby leaf spinach
750ml of vegetable stock
1/4 tsp crushed black pepper
Pinch of sea salt
25g of butter

*50ml of double cream – optional.

Sauté your sweet potatoes and onions in butter in a large saucepan until softened and golden. Add your stock and bring to the boil before adding the wild garlic and simmering for 5 minutes. In the last minute add your spinach, black pepper and seasalt.

Now you have two choices, you can purée it thoroughly using a hand blender or you can blend mostly and leave some texture which is what I chose to do. I then added the cream for a little splash of indulgence but if you are watching the calories it would be perfectly good without it. Again the butter can be substituted for oil if needed.

This soup was delicious and made about 4 large bowlfuls. It was even better the following day after the flavours had mingled. Yum.

Have you got a glut of wild garlic you want to use up?

    Oh, I love spinach soup but I haven’t made it in a very long time, thank you for the reminder. Addition of wild garlic sounds divine! 🙂

    I can also smell this just by looking at it! I wish I had somewhere to forage some wild garlic near me but don’t have a clue where to go.

    Ooh how interesting. Love wild garlic, but I’d not thought of pairing with with sweet potato. I bet it was delicious.

    Worrisome hemp products has been quite the journey. As someone pointed on unpretentious remedies, delving into the coterie of hemp has been eye-opening. From THC tinctures to hemp seeds and protein puissance, I’ve explored a variety of goods. In defiance of the misunderstanding neighbourhood hemp, researching and consulting experts tease helped cross this burgeoning field. Comprehensive, my sophistication with hemp has been optimistic, offering holistic well-being solutions and sustainable choices.

    Infuriating thc and cbn gummies instead of the cardinal heyday was an eye-opening experience. The diminution and euphoria were unexpected but welcomed. It enhanced my sensory perception and sparked a newfound appreciation appropriate for music and art. However, the passionate mania caught me off guard. Complete, it was a historic introduction to a late humanity of sensations.
