Ingredients

1/2 stick unsalted Butter

1 pound fresh Ramps, cleaned and cut into 2" pieces

Salt & freshly-ground Black Pepper, to taste

1 Tbls ground dried New Mexican red chile,

1 Bay leaf

3 Tablespoons minced Garlic

10 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock

2 1/2 pounds New Potatoes, quartered

1/4 cup heavy Cream

Directions

Melt the Butter in a 6-quart stock pot over medium-high heat.

Add the Ramps and stir. Season with Salt, Black pepper, and ground Chile.

Saute until the Ramps are wilted and soft, about 6 minutes. Add the Bay Leaf and Garlic, stirring for 2 minutes.

Add the Stock and Potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are very soft and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 1 hour.

Remove the soup from the heat. Discard the Bay Leaf.

Slowly add the cream. Stir to blend. It can now be served as is, or pulsed in small batches until it is smooth and creamy.

Garnish with Chopped Ramps, Cilantro. fresh Chiles, Cheese, or Bacon

How fun! When I lived in my native TN, I used to go to the annual Cosby Ramp festival, as it was pretty much the only time I got to try all things ramp for the year. In fact, they just had it about two weeks ago and I really miss going - so many great foods featuring ramps, music, crafts and hanging out with a lot of fun folks. Ramps are so delicious and I imagine how delightful they'd be in your soup. Love the New Mex red chiles here and the garnish suggestions. Gosh, my tummy is growling. I think I need to find me some dinner - ha! Another great post - thanks, Jim.

Lawdy, it's been a long time since I have had this one, or I should say, one similar to this. Sounds so delicious!

Thanks Jim! I've never tried Ramps but this sounds delish. Thanks for the post. By the way, Rob is making the Sumac bread on Friday, I'll let you know what we think. It going to be part of a birthday dinner he is preparing me. Can't wait to taste it all. He is also preparing a lime tuna kabob of Vickie's. Should be interesting, all those countries on one plate. Ha!

Wow....I didn't know that anyone outside of W.Va. knew what ramps were! JK! I really like the New Mexican red chile addition!

While camping I love foraging for wild onions and mushrooms too. The thick and creamy results are worth the hour it takes to make your Spicy Ramp And New Potato Soup.
Five forks for Jim
