Wild Garlic Soup

If you’re lucky enough to have a little countryside nearby or a little forested woodland then you will be familiar with the smell of wild garlic at this time of year. Picked fresh and used that day the smell and taste is a delight to the senses and served as this vibrant green soup with a little cheesy puff pastry twist….welll it’s heaven on a plate, or should I say bowl.

This recipe is one I found on the internet, I did not use the garlic flowers as a garnish however: wild garlic soup

I did however buy some puff pastry rolled it out to the thickness of 2 pound coins. Sliced into strips and grated a little parmesan on top, then gently twisted into shape onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200C or gas mark 6 for around 10-15 or until golden brown.

Serve with piping hot wild garlic soup. Enjoy….

If you fancy a little tipple with this a Spanish white Albarino with its refreshing acidity works well…
