Head out to the farmers market, or better produce markets, and grab some green garlic, so you can enjoy this great cream of green garlic and potato soup recipe. If you can’t find it, use leeks or green onions with some regular garlic instead.
Makes 6 Servings of Cream of Green Garlic and Potato Soup
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 slices minced bacon
3 cups sliced green garlic
4 medium russet potatoes
1 quart chicken broth, more if needed
1/2 cup cream
salt and pepper to taste
cayenne to taste
chives to garnish
Preparation:
Add the olive oil and bacon to a soup pot, and place over medium heat. When the bacon is cooked and starting to get crisp, add the green garlic. Cook stirring for 3-4 minutes. Add the broth and potatoes. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes and garlic are tender. Use more broth as needed.
You can use a potato masher to break up any large pieces of potato. Use a stick or regular blender to puree about 70% of the soup, and leave the rest unblended for texture. Add the cream, and season to taste. Once the soup is heated through, serve immediately with fresh chives on top.
