<h3>Instructions:</h3>
<b>1. Prepare the Ingredients:</b>
Clean the ramson leaves thoroughly under cold water. Chop the onion finely, and make sure the potatoes are diced into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
<b>2. Cook the Onion:</b>
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn soft and translucent. This base will add a savory depth to the soup.
<b>3. Simmer the Potatoes:</b>
Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
<b>4. Add the Ramson Leaves:</b>
Once the potatoes are soft, add the ramson leaves to the pot. Let them wilt for about 2-3 minutes – it doesn’t take long for ramson to cook.
<b>5. Blend the Soup:</b>
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup directly in the pot until it’s smooth and creamy. If a traditional blender is used, be cautious as hot liquids can expand.
<b>6. Stir in Cream:</b>
After blending, stir in the cream and heat the soup for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to taste and season with salt and pepper according to your preferences.
<b>7. Serve:</b>
Ladle the soup into bowls. For an added touch, drizzle a little olive oil or a dollop of cream on top, and maybe sprinkle some fresh herbs if available.
<h3>Serving Suggestions:</h3>
Enjoy this soup with a slice of crusty bread or as a light dinner on spring evenings. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad.
