Here I present you my fine and fast Wild Garlic Soup with Fish Recipe.
I found the wild garlic for this delicious soup in the forest myself.
Already when picking, the wild garlic smells intensively and tastily of fresh garlic.
You can find bear’s garlic from March to June in the deciduous forest.
From the forest directly into the kitchen and into the soup – fresher and better it doesn’t get!
Have fun cooking and a good appetite!

I have divided the preparation of the soup into 4 steps for you:

- Remove the briefly cooked vegetable insert for serving.
- Foam up the other part of the basic soup with the roughly chopped wild garlic leaves.
- Leave a part of the potatoes in it so that the soup becomes creamy.
- Serve in hot plates and decorate with wild garlic blossoms or slightly finely chopped wild garlic leaves.
