Spinach And Radish Soup Recipes

SPRING RAMP, RADISH & SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Divide ramps between greens and stem. Reserve the greens; chop the stems. Trim the ends off the radishes and slice in half.
• Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus. Peel the bottom two thirds of each spear, then chop in pieces.
• In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the ramp stems and the radishes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour in the vegetable stock; add the ginger root and bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer the soup for 10 minutes.
• Add the ramp greens and the spinach to the pot. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Transfer the soup to a high-powered blender and liquify. Blend it long enough so there are no fibres remaining.
• Pour in the rice vinegar and salt. Blend again and taste the soup. Sprinkle in additional salt to taste if desired. Pour soup back into the pot and keep on low until ready to serve.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh mint.

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the green onions, and cook until tender. Stir in the cooked potatoes, then gradually mix in the spinach, stirring after each addition until spinach is limp. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan, and whisk in the flour and curry powder. Gradually whisk in broth so that no lumps form. Return the spinach mixture to the pan, stirring to blend, along with the lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
• Place sour cream in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot soup into the sour cream, and mix until well blended. Stir this back into the pot of soup. Heat through, but do not allow to boil. Serve immediately.
