Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Radish greens (washed and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or olive oil
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Potato (peeled and diced)
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the butter or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potato to the pot and stir to coat it with the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potato pieces are tender.
Add the chopped radish greens to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, or until wilted and soft.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the mixture to a stand blender to blend in batches.
Stir in the heavy cream (if using) and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Simmer the soup for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
