Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche
This Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche is my favorite way to use up those greens which aren’t crisp or fresh enough for a salad, but work perfectly in a soup. Waste not want not, right?!
This soup is super easy to make too. Start by sautéing onions in butter with some thyme leaves. Add potato cubes and sauté for two more minutes. Pour in broth before adding wilted greens, frozen peas and some sugar. Once the soup is cooked, blend it in a food processor until smooth. Serve garnished with crème fraîche and freshly chopped herbs.

Recipe Reviews
Super simple to make this recipe and it's affordable too so I'm satified.
Love this healthy soup more than anything in life, will totally be making it again.
When I first saw this I thought I'd hate it because peas are normally not very tasty period but it was actually FIRE.
My kids aren't really a fan of this soup, they much prefer things like the garlic butter meatballs instead of a liquid meal, but me and the partner ate it right up! Brilliant :)
Licked the bowl clean! It was too good to leave anything in it.
I really like the flavour of this it's unique and i've never made anything like this before.
Freshly made and fresh tasting, what more can I say? Perfect soup to make you feel like a healthy eater.
Wanted to add a bit more to this so I decided to put some tomatoes in it and the small soup noodles.
This was kinda a hard recipe to make in my opinion just because the blender can be quite the hassel at times but it was worth it in the end since me and my family enjoyed the meal.
Bomb soup! Made this and some cheesy garlic bread on the same day for lunch.
I really like the flavour of this it's unique and i've never made anything like this before.
Happy stomach and a happy life thanks to this delicious bowl of green wilted soup, I had mine with some black bread.
This and the chickpea soup are my favorite soups of all time on this website, so flavourful.
Had it cold for work the next day and it was still really delicious couldn't ask for more.
Anyone know where I can get the creme fraiche?..:(
Avoided adding the thymes cause it always makes things taste too similar to grass, but without it the wilted soup is just fine.
Would say to avoid adding anything else to this dish cause peas don't go well with a lot of things, tried adding sourcream and it just tasted funny so skipped out on it the second time around.
Great recipe will be making this wilted green pea soup every week atleast once.
Took me a while to make this and it was sort've grainy, edible and enjoyable at the same time though.
I was trying to find soups and meals to go with my healthy diet and this is perfect for it, thanks so much it tasted fantastic.
Is it weird that I squeezed a bit of lime in this? I felt like it needed to be a tad more zesty but it tasted really yummy in the end either way.
Yummy! Healthy & delicious soup!
