Ramp & Komatsuna Soup
What you’ll need
- Ramps
- Komatsuna
- Potato (2-3 small)
- Sweet onion
- Stock
What you’ll do
- Clean and trim the roots off the ramps. Cut the in half, separating the bulb from the green leaves, and set the leaves aside for later.
- Finely chop the bulbs and the sweet onion and add to a medium/large pot with some olive oil and sweat them down (careful not to get color on them) over a low/moderate heat
- As the ramp bulbs and sweet onion cook down, peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes (the size doesn’t really matter--just think: the smaller they are the quicker they cook) and add those to the pot.
- Cover the potatoes with stock and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cover (so the liquid doesn’t evaporate, but the potatoes cook until tender.)
- Roughly chop the ramp leaves and once the potatoes are just about fork tender add the leaves into the pot and stir well and allow to wilt for a few minutes. At this point taste and adjust the salt.
- Blend (an immersion blender works well) until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche. Or optionally, stir in some heavy cream before serving
