I LOVE radishes too, we raised so many last year...but last year was a great year weather wise..this season so far...not so much...
Well, I don;t know if this is a New idea for Rads...
But it's one we sure love!
we make this on the rare days that all our radishes don't sell at the Farmers Market...but sometimes..we just make it because it's good...


Cream of Radish Soup

4-6 cups radishes, sliced
1 cup chopped onion, scallions, or leeks scallions (We have tried all :) )
4 Tbs. unsalted butter, divided
3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
3 cups milk, warm
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon nutmeg
parsley

In a skillet, sauté onions and radishes in 2 Tablespoons butter until both are limp. Put vegetables in blender and process until smooth.
Meanwhile; In a medium pot, melt 2 Tablespoons butter, stir in flour, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add milk all at once and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and stir until thickened. Add the processed vegetables, salt, pepper, and parsley. Adjust seasonings and Enjoy

PP,

This recipe sounds magnificent!

Does the soup have a good, strong, radish-y flavor?

Thanks for posting it!

quite hard to explain the taste, I'd say yes..and no..depends on the radish, older-stronger flavored would make a difference..

It's like when you sauté them in a stir fry..they have a taste of their own...not like a radish really...
I do know this though..
with 2 25 ft. rows ready to harvest today..two more 25 ft. rows ready in 12 days...and another 100 foot bed..ready in 25 days...that I will have my memory refreshed here..Very soon :)
