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.
To make Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche, you will need the following ingredients:
Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan. Fry ½ a chopped onion and leaves from 3 sprigs of thyme in the butter for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the chopped potato to the pot and cook it, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
Pour 4 cups of broth over the potato and onion and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potato is tender.
Mix in 4 cups of greens, 1½ cups of frozen peas and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to sit for 10 minutes. This will give the greens time to soften.
Blend the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve this soup in warm bowls topped with crème fraîche and freshly chopped herbs.
