BLACK SALSIFY SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Deglaze vegetables with white wine and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Cook the vegetables for 10 minutes until soft.
• Slowly pour the cream into the boiling soup and bring to the boil.
• Season the soup with nutmeg, pepper and cayenne pepper.
• Mix the cream soup with a hand blender and let it steep for another 5 minutes at reduced heat.
