I got extra garlic scapes in my CSA box, so tried this. I sauteed them in a large skillet, then pureed, then added it all in a pot to cook. Instead of cream, I used pureed cauliflower (to make it no dairy). My child that usu. doesn't like soup ate all of his. If you eat a lot of it, it certainly cleans you out the next day! :)

Wow! I had never used scapes before, but got them in my CSA share, so tried this soup. Super Yummy! I made a couple of changes for what I had on hand: used a vidalia onion, oregano instead of thyme, 1/2 & 1/2 instead of cream, and 4 cups broth as I threw in a handful of pasta to add more substance. I also grated some Parmesan cheese on top to serve. Start to finish this took about 35 minutes including the time for the pasta to cook in step 4 before the cream was added. Thanks for a great recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After a spending my childhood subsisting on a handful of favorite foods, I became a more adventurous eater in my teens and now enjoy trying new foods. It took a little longer for me to get up my nerve to expand my cooking repertoire beyond the basics, but I'm enjoying branching out, especially now with inspiration from the Recipezaar chefs. One of my goals is to reduce the amount of processed food my family eats, so I'm making an effort to cook more from scratch and use local, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
