Radish Top Soup

Source: allrecipes.com

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 45 min

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, sliced
  • 4 cups raw radish greens (I used the greens from 5 radishes, and that was plenty)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (I used 3 bouillon cubes to 4 cups of water)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (I used almond milk)
  • 5 radishes, sliced
Directions
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and saute until tender. Mix in the potatoes and radish greens, coating them with the butter. Pour in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
2. Allow the soup mixture to cool slightly, and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth.
3. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Mix in the heavy cream. Cook and stir until well blended. Serve with radish slices.

Comments: This soup is so good! It's a lot like cream of broccoli, but so much more flavor, and since it's not cream based, I'm sure it's lower fat (even lower than it says if you use milk instead of heavy cream). But it does not really make 6 servings. It made enough for two hungry adults to have dinner and a tiny bit left over for the next day.
