I devised this soup this afternoon after coming across an abundance of Ramsons. It's a bit off the cuff, using as it does ingredients that were to hand in the 'fridge but it's very simple, especially so if you have a stick blender to help make it into a smooth puree. You need:

3 generous handfuls of Ramsons, picked over and thoroughly washed.
1 generous handful of Rocket leaves also picked over and washed.
1 small carton of cream.
Half a carton of cream cheese (Philadelphia is good).
Salt & pepper to season.
Large knob of butter.
Half a teaspoon of Arrowroot powder to thicken.

First, place the butter in a pan over a low heat. Roughly chop the ramsons and add them to the pan & sweat them down gently.

Keeping the heat low, pour the cream into the pan and add the cream cheese. Then using the stick blender puree the mixture to a smooth consistency.

Season to taste. Mix the arrowroot with a small amount of water and add to the pan, stir gently until you see the soup begin to thicken slightly.

Finally, coarsely chop the Rocket and add to the pan. Quickly blend the mixture again, then heat through until just simmering and serve with fresh wholegrain rolls and butter.

The finished soup should be light green & smoothly textured with darker green flecks and a gentle garlic flavour with slightly crunchy zingy Rocket overtones.

Enjoy.

Sounds very nice!
was out with badger last weekend and we gathered watercress, hogweed shoots and ramsons which he then proceded to turn into a tasty meal. Had the hogweed in butter as i had never tried it before. Very nice indeed
