RADISH GREENS SOUP

Did you know radish greens can be eaten? Smaller new leaves are a great addition to salads and such. As they grow bigger they can be bitter, but I like to use them in this simple soup that is easy to customize to your personal tastes. The radish leaves give the soup a peppery taste, which is why I don't have other seasonings in the ingredient list, but I sometimes add different ingredients depending on what I feel like that day.

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 large onion, diced
1 large potato, diced
2 1/2 cups radish tops, chopped. The younger the leaves, the more mild the taste (radish greens)
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream or heavy cream) (optional)

Steps:

Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large saucepan and saute the onions until tender.
Stir in the potatoes and radish greens.
Pour in the chicken broth (Use less if you want a thicker soup, you can always add broth later to thin it).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until potatoes and stems are tender.
Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. (My upright blender works great, my immersion blender didn't work as well.).
Return to the saucepan. Reheat on low if needed. Stir in the yogurt (this makes it creamier, but it is tasty without it too). Optional is to dish up the soup first, then put a small dollop of yogurt into the bowl and give it a little swirl.
I find this soup is very versatile. If the radish leaves are younger, then the soup more mild so I may add different seasonings. Our family has wide tastes, so I'll serve it as is and let individuals add a dash of tobasco or other seasonings, or sprinkle on some cheese. Sometimes I add in a carrot or other leftover veggies with the potatoes.

RADISH GREENS SOUP

Radish greens are too good to just waste them. This is a basic soup which can be varied by adding spring onions, more cream or cream cheese, even mushrooms are good in it. You can use whichever broth you like. Depending on how big your bunch of greens is, you might need more or less broth.

nutmeg or mace, to taste
1 Tbsp cream cheese

Tips:

Choose fresh, tender radish greens: Look for greens that are bright green and have no signs of wilting or yellowing.
Wash the greens thoroughly: Rinse the greens several times in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Chop the greens finely: This will help them cook evenly and release their flavor.
Sauté the greens before adding them to the soup: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
Use a variety of vegetables in your soup: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired spices to taste.
Serve the soup hot: Radish greens soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
