Notes
- Never pick leaves next to busy roads or lanes, or low down, where dogs are regularly walked.
- If you want to forage wild garlic for the first time, check it from a pocket guidebook before picking anything. The biggest clue is the smell. It may look similar to wild garlic. Don't eat it if it doesn’t smell like garlic. Use fresh and young wild garlic leaves for a milder flavor.
- Carefully wash the wild garlic leaves, making sure to remove any soil or dirt.
- Use a blender or food processor to puree the soup for a smooth and creamy texture.
- The secret to having a beautiful and bright green color soup is to add the wild garlic leaves at the very last minute and only cook them for a few minutes. Once you've added them in, make sure you blend your soup straight after.
