Garlic Scape Soup

Submitted by Sonata

"I haven't tried this yet because it's been too hot for soup, and I haven't had enough garlic scapes at any one time to make it! It sounds yummy though. The recipe did not give cooking times, so I'll have to let you know once I make it."

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! :)

Excellent soup. I added butter to the olive oil 2tbs and followed the recipe to a t. We grow garlic and it is the perfect time as our scapes are just getting picked. I would recommend this soup to anyone. Thank you for the recipe

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!
