The onions and potatoes give it a smooth, creamy, velvety texture. Despite the straightforward ingredients and preparation method, the dish tastes exquisite. I think “soup” is too familiar to describe this deliciousness.

For me, that means, above all else, cooking with seasonal ingredients. Using food when it is the freshest on the market has many advantages but requires some knowledge and planning. This year, I promised to spend more time preparing my weekly food plan and considering seasonal ingredients. Let’s celebrate the rich diversity of the changing seasons in Germany together and make wild garlic soup this spring! Two weeks ago, we started the camping season in German Franconia. When our camping parcel was ready, we headed to our favourite restaurant in the village nearby. We love going to this restaurant. The food there is not only delicious but also very diverse. The head chef continuously extends the main menu with an enormous list of specials, primarily seasonal dishes. The first dish that caught my eye was the Wild Garlic Soup. I couldn’t help but wonder how the wild garlic tasted and why I hadn’t eaten it before! I ordered it without hesitation and will never regret my choice. Since then, I have tried all other dishes with this ingredient that this restaurant has to offer. After returning to the caravan, I searched for similar wild garlic soup recipes. The next day, I went to the farmers’ market, bought the ingredients, and made the magic happen. If you get a hands-on fresh wild garlic, I recommend that you try the recipe below. For the dish that takes 30 minutes to make, it is damn good. Please share in the comments below what ingredients you are enjoying this season. What about white asparagus and strawberries? Is it only me who is looking forward to another tasty season this year? More Wild Garlic Dishes to Enjoy this Spring Get Potato Salad Video Guide!
