A very interesting first try. It tasted like spinach soup. However, the ratios are wrong - one looses interest in the soup after a few spoonfuls. Trying to go from 4 cups of radish tops and 2 potatoes to Martha's suggestion of 2 cups radish tops, but only 4 potatoes, and increasing the cream from 1/3 to 2/3 of a cup. Also, the removing the 5 sliced radishes to replace with a few slices just as a garnish.
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
4 medium potatoes, sliced
2 cups raw radish greens
4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup heavy cream
Radishes, sliced, for garnish (optional)
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and saute until tender. Mix in the potatoes and radish greens, coating them with the butter. Pour in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
- Allow the soup mixture to cool slightly, and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan. Mix in the heavy cream. Cook and stir until well blended. Serve with radish slice garnish.
To Try:
6 potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
All other ingredients the same.
Garnish with chervil (or tarragon)
