Black Salsify Soup

I made this soup for our dinner this sunday. It is a very simple soup to make and serves as a nice starter or part of bigger dinner. This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients:

• 500g Black Salsify
• 2 Onions
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2dl Milk
• Vanilla
• Sugar

I peeled the black salsify before boiling them, they need to be placed into cold water immediatelly to prevent discolouring. You can also peel the root after you have boiled them for about 20-25 minutes. After the black salsify is completely soft I blended them into puree and added some water to get a proper soupy consistency. Season with some salt and pepper. Heat up the milk and add some sugar and vanilla, the milk should be quite sweet and have a clear vanilla taste to it. When the milk starts boiling use an electric mixer to get a nice foam out of it. Serve the soup in bowls and place some milk foam on top.
