Wild Garlic and Potato Soup

I've several versions of wild garlic soup but this is my all time favourite.  I'll make a double batch today as the season is coming to a close and pop some in the freezer.

Ingredients

Large knob butter
3 or 4  generous handfuls of wild garlic leaves

2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 litre of chicken or vegetable stock

White pepper to taste
Flowers to garnish.

Method

Melt the butter in a large pan. 

Roll the leaves so they look like green cigars and then slice across into thin strips. 

Add them to the pan and cover 

I let them soften gently in the butter while Ipeel and chop the potatoes into cubes. 

When the leaves are wilted add the potatoes and the stock. Once it comes up to simmer then simmer until the potatoes are really soft. 

Blitz the soup using a stick blender until smooth.
Season to taste.  Add a swirl of cream and a few of the pretty flowers. Enjoy!
