As a food blogger, I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting recipes to share with my readers. And today, I’ve got a recipe that’s perfect for springtime: Creamy spring onion soup! This recipe is full of fresh and vibrant flavors, perfect for brightening up any meal.
The star of this soup is, of course, the spring onions. These tender green onions are bursting with flavor and add a unique depth to the soup. Combined with sweet onions and potatoes, the soup is perfectly balanced and creamy. It’s perfect for those chilly spring evenings when you want something comforting, but also light and fresh.
I am absolutely crazy about onions and I’ve never eaten onion soup, can you believe it?! Yesterday I went to Costin’s parents’ house and came back with about 10kilos of delicious cherries, some huge bunches of parsley and dill, lots of leafy greens and a bag full of extra-large scallions. I had no idea what to do with so many of them.
Baked scallions were out of the question because I ate this almost every day for the last couple of weeks, and eating them in salads will take forever! Then the idea hit me! What about a creamy spring onion soup! And that’s what I made.
It was delicious! You know that I love creamy soups, so this recipe is just perfect for me! 🙂 It’s really easy to make, like most other creamy soup recipes. You can use either butter or olive oil for this.
To make the soup, start by sautéing the onions in butter or olive oil until they’re tender and fragrant. Then, add in the fresh thyme, ground coriander, and a pinch of sea salt and white pepper for a burst of flavor. Boil with potatoes. Once everything is cooked through and fragrant, add in some water or broth and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes.
After simmering, it’s time to blend the soup to creamy perfection. I recommend using an immersion blender, which makes it easy to blend the soup right in the pot. Once everything is blended and creamy, you’ll be left with a beautiful and fragrant soup that’s ready to be served.
Garnish the soup with some additional chopped spring onions or fresh herbs, and you’ve got a dish that’s sure to impress. Serve it up with some fresh bread or a salad, and you’ve got a delicious and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
Overall, this creamy spring onion soup is a must-try for any foodie. It’s a delicious and unique recipe that’s perfect for celebrating the flavors of spring. So why not give it a try and see for yourself how delicious it can be? Hope you’ll like my creamy spring onion soup recipe! Enjoy!
