This soup sounds very tasty!

But what is meant with "wild garlic"? The wild garlic I know is green, but the soup isn't green at all.

Hi Dorry,

the picture doesn't do the recipe any justice. You are right, the soup should be more greenish.

I am going to exchange the photo in fact as it is a bit misleading.

Have a look here:

And the correct title should be Ramson Cream Soup...

Sorry about the confusion here! And yes, the soup is very tasty indeed!

Hi at all,

well, if you consider, that there is a lot of cream in the soup and if the bunch of wild garlic is rather small, to avoid a too strong smell and flavour of garlic, the soup looks right for me. I often saw, that just a shot of cream makes a sauce or soup very light coloured.

I made this soup last spring (without the chorizo and with a little less cream but 2 potatoes more) with the fresh green wild garlic from my garden and it looked also rather whitish.
