White Radish Greens Soup with Tartine

Yes, I’ve tried zumba. and no, I didn’t make a complete fool of myself. Know what else I tried? White Radish Greens Soup with Tartine for breakfast just before my 9 a.m. zumba class. The soup was cold and refreshing, and the White Radish Tartine was heavenly and almost made me late for class. (I was deliberating over seconds.) My taste-tester son Andrew devoured 2 White Radish Tartines for his breakfast and gave 2 thumbs up.

White Radish Greens Soup

• leaves from 3 white radishes, chopped

• 1 T olive oil

• 2/3 c milk
• 1 t Herbamare and freshly ground black pepper

In a large pot over medium-high, heat oil and sauté onion for 3 minutes. Add scallion and radish greens, salt and pepper and sauté another minute, until wilted. Add the water and potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, until softened. Purée and add milk.

Serve hot or cold for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack—perfect for a picnic—and serve with White Radish Tartine. It’s like a trip to Paris without the airfare.
