Yes! I’m a very happy forager today. I went out tonight in search of garlic mustard (which, despite being one of the most invasive species in the UK, remained elusive), and came home with a bag full of St. George’s! Walking through the woodland I thought ‘what can I add to make this my first entirely-foraged-and-homegrown soup for August?’
With Ground Elder aplenty, and onion tops at home ready to be picked, plus some fresh thyme from the front garden, a recipe soon began to take shape in my mind. Here are my wonderful ingredients:
The resulting soup made two portions, and tasted absolutely fantastic! John said “I could eat some of that now”, so I’ve put a label on it saying “AUGUST”. That should do the job. If not, I shall have to venture out and make some more!
