RAMPS AND POTATO SOUP
Here's something a little unusual to do with the ramps that pop up at the farmers' market in the spring. Sauté them with some potatoes in bacon fat - always a good idea - and then simmer in chicken broth with some spices until done. You can mash up the potatoes a little to lend a smoother texture to the soup, or not. Either way: springtime deliciousness!

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, fry bacon until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Remove bacon and reserve for another purpose. Add ramps and potatoes to bacon fat and sauté over medium heat until ramps are tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir to mix.
- Stir in chicken broth. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in cream and heat until steaming; do not boil. Salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

RAMP SOUP
Steps:
- Trim roots from ramps and slip off outer skin on bupounds if loose. Cut green tops from ramps and coarsely chop enough greens to measure 3 cups (reserve remainder for another use). Thinly slice ramp bulbs, including pink stems.
- Cook ramp bulbs, onion, white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add wine, then boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until evaporated completely. Add broth and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until onions and ramps are very soft, about 20 minutes. Stir in ramp greens and boil 1 minute.
- Working in batches, purée soup in a blender until very smooth, about 1 minute per batch (use caution when blending hot liquids), then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Return soup to cleaned pot and bring just to a boil. Whisk in cheese and butter until smooth. Season with salt.
POTATO, BACON, HAM, & RAMP (WILD LEEK) SOUP
Ramps grow from South Carolina to Canada, and in many areas they're considered a spring delicacy and even a reason for celebration. The flavor is a cross between a green onion or scallion and garlic. Dig these spring treasures now because their growing season is limited to a few short weeks. My husband and I are fortunate to...

Steps:
- 1. Sautee the bacon with the onion until the onion is translucent or almost tender. Add the water, bouillon, potatoes, ham, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- 2. Add the chopped ramps to to the simmering pot. Thoroughly combine the milk with the flour and add that to the pot too. Cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with a small pat of butter placed on the surface of each bowl of soup.
- 3. Note: Regular cultivated leeks, found in most grocery stores, make an excellent substitute for wild leeks in this recipe but trim off and discard the tough part of the green tops if using them.

RAMP POTATOES
In the springtime, I always look forward to making ramp potatoes. If you've never had a ramp, you are missing out! A member of the leek family, they have a taste like garlic, onion, and a little something special!

POTATO AND WILD LEEK SOUP
Leeks (some call them "ramps" ) grow wild here in the foothills of the Alleghenies. I adpated this from a recipe that I found online. The ingredient list below says "ramps" because Recipezaar kept changing it from "wild leeks" to "leek" which is a completely different vegetable.
