Green Soup
4 servings
45 minutes
Green soup is a true embodiment of spring's awakening nature. This recipe, rooted in European cuisine, brings freshness of young greens and rich flavor to the diet. The main ingredient is nettle, valued for its nutritional properties, harmoniously combined with tender shallots and spicy ramsons. The velvety consistency of the soup is achieved thanks to potatoes, which add softness. Butter and chicken broth create a rich base enriched with subtle notes of nutmeg and white pepper. The final touch is a spoonful of sour cream and a boiled egg that give the dish completeness. Green soup is not just food but a gastronomic journey that can provide comfort and warmth at any time of the year.
