Chicken soup isn’t the only soup. A watercress soup with veggies and fruits make a great soup too. It’s delicate, sublime and nutritious. It transports me to the countryside surrounded by green and flowers, feeling the air and the flavor of spring.
Ingredients
2 bunches of watercress
3 pears, cored, peeled and cut into chunks
1 leek, chopped
4 tablespoons of butter
8 ounces heavy cream
32 fluid ounces vegetable stock
In a soup pot, at low heat melt the butter. Add the leek and cook until it begins to soften. Add the pear and cook covered for few minutes also until tender. Add the watercress, vegetable stock and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the cream and puree in the blender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a piece of country bread.
La hago pronto. A mi marido le va a encantar.
Besos,

Dear Anabelle,
I think coconut milk, rice milk or almond milk could be really good options.
Let me know how it goes.

Congratulations for the new site La Maison du Monde, I just love it!
Will try your watercrest soup, but have a question, I can’t use heavy cream, what could you suggest instead?
Wish you the best and keep on the good work!

Watercress soup sounds and looks like a good way to welcome spring. At least I can have the soup if the season is delayed! So pretty.
