Babycorn soup with wild garden greens


All the beautiful greens for this recipe came from my kitchen garden. Need: 
1. Baby corns 250 gms - roughly chopped up
2. Green chilis - 2 chopped
3. Basil & Cilantro - a handful of each
4. Fennel tips - a few strands
5. Other wild greens - I picked 2 broccoli leaves, 2 pumpkin greens, a few strands of garlic greens and watercress, wood sorrels, 2 leaves of Indian borage
6. 2 onions - roughly chopped
7. Garlic - minced about 1 tbsp
8. Sugar, salt and ground black pepper to taste
9. Water - 4 cups
10. Butter - as per your liking


Method:
1. Saute the garlic in olive oil or butter, add onions and caramelize with a little brown sugar.
2. Add the green chili and tomatoes. Mix.
3. Now add the baby corns, water, and salt; cover and bring to a boil.
4. Turn off heat, add the greens, mix, cover and leave for 10 minutes.
5. Blend this whole thing well and transfer back to the pot.



6. Bring to a boil just before serving, add the pepper, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro and serve.
