Salsify & Apple Soup by Claire Birch

Ingredients—serves 4
 
25g butter
700g salsify root, peeled and roughly chopped
1 cooking apple, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
1.1 litres chicken stock
4 fresh sage leaves
2 cloves
150ml single cream
salt and black pepper, to taste
fresh sage leaves, shredded and croûtons to garnish
 
 
Method
 
Melt butter in a large pan & add the salsify and apples. Cover and allow to sweat gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock, sage leaves and cloves then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the salsify has softened. Remove the sage leaves and cloves then allow to cool slightly before transferring to a food processor or blender. Liquidize until smooth then return to a pan. Re-heat gently, stir in the cream and allow to warm through (do not boil). Serve hot, ladled into warmed soup bowls and garnished with sage and croûtons.
