πΏπ₯£ Farm-to-Table Drumstick & Potato Soup πΈ
Todayβs recipe features drumsticks (moringa pods), potatoes and fresh herbs, finished with our very own farm-grown microgreens and edible flowers.
β¨ The best part? Almost everything was grown on our farm! From the drumsticks and herbs, including oregano, to the microgreens and edible flowers used for garnishing, everything came from our farm. The potato was the ONLY ingredient I bought from the market!
π± INGREDIENTS
2β3 fresh drumsticks (moringa pods)
2 medium potatoes
1 small onion, chopped
3β4 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh oregano
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2β3 cups vegetable stock or water
A little milk or cream (optional)
Fresh microgreens and edible flowers for garnish
π©βπ³ METHOD
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
Wash the drumsticks, cut them into pieces and peel the potatoes before chopping them into cubes.
Step 2: SautΓ© for flavour
Heat butter or olive oil in a pan. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sautΓ© until fragrant. Add the potatoes and drumstick pieces.
Step 3: Simmer until tender
Add vegetable stock or water, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are soft and the drumstick pulp is tender.
Step 4: Extract the goodness
Remove the drumstick pieces. Carefully scrape out the soft pulp and discard the fibrous outer portions and hard pieces. Blend the cooked potatoes, drumstick pulp and broth until smooth. Strain if needed for an extra-silky texture.
Step 5: Add the herbs
Return the soup to the pan. Add freshly chopped oregano and simmer gently for another 2β3 minutes. Add a splash of milk or cream if you prefer a richer consistency. Adjust the seasoning.
Step 6: Garnish and serve πΈ
Pour the hot soup into a bowl and garnish with freshly harvested microgreens and edible flowers.
