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.
