Recipe: Cress soup with ginger

Soups with aromatic herbs

January 11, 2011

I always grow garden cress during winter, because we love its taste: pungent, fresh, with plenty of personality.

Garden cress is rich in minerals and vitamin C, and it's the perfect herb for winter. Add some ginger and you will create the ultimate winter soup!

Cress soup with ginger

Ingredients
1/2 cup garden cress
250ml chicken stock
1 cm ginger
1 potato
3 tablespoons single cream

Cress

Directions
Cut the potatoes into small cubes and chop the ginger.
Put in a pot with the chicken broth and cook until the potato is tender, then blend into a puree.
Add the single cream and cook another few minutes.
Coarsely chop the cress and add to the soup.
Serve with buttered toasted bread.
