The idea of this soup came out when my friend who loves cashew “cheese” with wild garlic said: “It should be a soup!”.
So I decided to make it. But cashews and ramsons are not good base for the soup. Green peas came to the rescue. I also added a leek and lime juice.
As a result we have delicious, creamy in taste and in colour soup, perfect for spring.
When I made this cream for the first time, I used about 15 leaves of wild garlic. But I strongly recommend to add more- 20 or even more. The ramsons gives this refreshing, a little spicy taste. And it fits perfectly with lime juice.
Use it chopped to garnish and don’t forget about olive oil to finish the dish before serving.

1. Heat the canola oil in the frying pan. Add leek cut into half-moons. Fry until soft.
