Ingredients

  • 800 g Caraway, fresh

  • 2 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 6 dl Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

Steps

  1. Clean and wash the lovage. If it still has nice leaves, save them for garnish. Then cut the heads into quarters and remove the core. Cut the quarters into smaller pieces. Peel the onion and chop it roughly. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add the vegetables and sauté them over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown. Then add enough broth to cover all the vegetables. Cook the soup over moderate heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables soften.

  3. Remove the pot from the heat and blend the vegetables with an immersion blender until smooth. Taste the soup and season with pepper and salt to taste. Finally, stir in the sour cream.

  4. Serve the prepared soup in soup bowls and enjoy.
