Introduction
about this recipe
Wild garlic belongs to the Allium family and is closely related to chives, onions and garlic. It grows in Europe and parts of Asia, mainly in the forest. It is one of the most important wild herbs and is often collected. Also by me and my family. It is doubly healthy because we move around to find it and then eat a very tasty and healthy soup. So a welcome vegetable on our healthy eating with fibromyalgia plate. Not too healthy, because cream is also in the soup. Wild garlic probably contains a lot of vitamin C, which is good for the immune system.

- 1 tbsp butter/or vegan margerine

From year to year you can find more and more products with wild garlic on the shelves: Wild garlic butter, cream cheese with wild garlic, wild garlic bread and much more. We can also do a lot with it ourselves like: Pestos, spreads, wild herb salads and sauces. In naturopathy, wild garlic is said to help with digestive disorders. It is called the witch 's onion.
