Vicious shwas a way to e-scape!!

Scape Vichyssois!!! Recipe and Review at the end of farmer markets pictures!

Finally the Farmers Market opened up in town!!

This is Part of the table for Don's Waterfall Farms!!

They specialize in Peppers and Heirloom tomatoes.

They Did not have any produce yet (Still growing, but they had some Cardoon and Scape.

The following picture is the Cardoon. I will post later after preparing something from it!

And this is Scape. Below i make a great soup and will pickle the stems!

They were selling weird stuff at the market also.




Now to the soup!! I browned the scape a little and this gave the soup a soft roasted garlic taste to it!

I also used Superior Touch "Better Than Bouillon", which gave it a nice rich taste.

I love this soup and it shows why fresh ingredients are the best!!

Scape Vichyssoise

A classic soup (served hot or cold) for garlic lovers. If scapes are not available at a specialty shop or farmer's market, use 1/4 cup sliced garlic. If you like spicy soups, add a few drops of chili oil.

1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chopped garlic scapes
1 cup sliced leeks
2 cups diced peeled red potatoes

2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Heat butter in pot over medium-high heat; add scapes& leaks and saute for 2 minutes.

Add potatoes& saute until softened slightly, about 2 minutes longer.

Add stock& bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium& simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.

Puree in food processor or with a hand immersion blender.

Add cream& seasonings to taste.
