Dandelion soup

thread is inspiring me to make more soups, i'm excited to see the finished product

Lurking, interdasted. Keep it coming OP.

No they aren't we don't eat the things at all.
Pretty useless save for decimating your yard.

Maybe you don't.

Chop dandelion & dill

That's gross, I'm not clicking that, even pretending I don't recognize the source.
Too many mites on those things.

I have heard that sauteed yellow blossoms are really good.
I can't for the life of me remember where I heard this.

Once the potatoes are "prickable", add the greens.
Not the dill.

Yeah, I imagine it's similar to zucchini blossoms, which I know to be pretty tasty.

Let the greens sit on top to soften: about 5 minutes.
Do not stir in.

Flowers are bittersweet, leaves are bitter, haven't tried the root

Dried root is good for tea, I know. Earthy taste.
I believe it is a diuretic & a laxative.

Dandelions were originally imported as a food item by English settlers and it became a pest species. Similar to the French and their fucking helix snails.

Also, those aren't mites, they're aphids.

How do people grow into adults without knowing these things?

>appalachians

Oh, right.

Once the leaves are soft & deep green, turn off heat.
Scoop leaves (carefully if you don't want any leaf pieces in the soup), into blender.

Yes, mites do exist.
I have literally never seen an aphid on a dandelion. I don't believe they eat them.

Put about half the soup in the blender & puree

Pureed

Kill yourself faggot that is fucking disgusting I bet you live in West Virginia you dumb hillnigger cuckold. KYS

yikes, bro. you need a hug?

>Dandelion products

...

Return to pot & add salt, pepper & fresh dill.
I like a lot of dill, so I used about a handful.
A really lovely spring soup!

Muh European heritage cuisine, user.

Aw.
I wish my irl husband appreciated it the same way, user.
Best I get is a "mmmm".

Soup sounds and looks great. Thanks OP. Please drop in for your next culinary adventure.

is farming dandelions for food a thing?

Where'd you get the dandelion greens, OP?

>pureed
Ya dun goof. If I wanted to eat shit I would've gone indian.

At the farmer's market

This is fucking great. You cook interesting and good food with a seasonal, local, regional twist. I trully tip my hat. You are why Veeky Forums must continue.

Nice! This looks tasty. Once in a while there are some useful threads on Veeky Forums.
Dandelion is btw good for your liver.

Well, the end product looks quite disappointing.

you bought those???
just go somewhere outside and pluck them

Yup. All the grocery stores where I live carry them, sold in bunches like spinach. The flowers are harder to find, you either have to pick them yourself or show up at the right farmers market at the right time.

nice
now I want some dandelionsalad

Love threads like this on Veeky Forums where peoples actually cook interesting things

>dandelion & dill
don't like where this is going

why? dill and dandelion seems like an interesting combination

Why didnt OP take the skin off his carrots?
Fucking disgusting.

>no stick blender
Wow poor

>stick blender

It's called an immersion blender you uneducated pleb. You have no room to call anyone else poor.

Not OP, but I don't remove the skin from my home garden grown carrots because I know there were no chemicals used on them.

do you have a penis. This is important.

you always remove the skin, chemicals are not a factor. literal SHIT has touched them so you wash them then peel, then wash again.

why are you shitting in your garden, europoor?

It's called a bermixer.

You're one of those people who also refuses to eat the skin of potatoes, aren't you?

RETARD that is why you wash them
a lot of vitamins are in the skin
plus: who uses shit in their vetetablegarden exept for ome 3rd worlders maybe

Use a light brush and wash them under water, retardo.

It's called a Bamix, made in Switzerland.

immersion blender, not a shitty europoor brand you fucking cuck.

Free protein.

>shitty europoor brand
>Switzerland
Do americans really believe this?

>American

LMAO, Euros only knowledge outside of Yurope is USA. But yes, it's an immersion blender. Let me help you with a similar example- Band-aid is a brand name, the product is an Adhesive Bandage. Note the difference Europoor.

Also, Aussie. :)

Savage

all of our ancestors and some of the best farms and gardens
of course I'm not arguing that this is a reason to not eat the skins

Nice change OP. I like the sound of it until blending. I'm not a fan of blended soups

>same but with nettle

hell
yea
