Wild Garlic Soup With Marinated Feta Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by marinating the feta. Cut the feta into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried herbs, such as oregano or thyme. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• STEP 2.In the meantime, prepare the soup. Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
• STEP 3.Add the wild garlic leaves to the pot and cook for a few minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
• STEP 4.Pour in vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
• STEP 5.Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be careful as the soup will be hot.
• STEP 6.Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water to thin it out.
• STEP 7.Serve the soup hot, topped with the marinated feta. Garnish with some fresh wild garlic leaves or chopped herbs, if desired.
• STEP 8.Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
