- Purslane Soup - long forgotten plants - rich in vitamins, healing effects and not at least delicious

Hi Steemians! When did you actually have your last menu with purslane? It belongs to one of the old forgotten herbs with many fields of application. 

Such as:

Heartburn, a headache, fever, blood-purifying, Bloodthirsty, diuretic, cough soothing, gum disease, digestion problems, constipation, Gastric mucosal inflammation, Inflammation of the lungs and much more.  

Since I currently have none of these complaints I do not use it as a healing herb but cook a delicious soup!

Ingredients for 2 people:

100 gram fresh purslane

2 medium-sized potatoes

1 Shallot or onion

20g butter

600 ml chickens or vegetable broth

2 tpbsp cream fraiche

1 glass dry white wine

Dried or fresh chilli

nutmeg

salt and pepper

1.  Wash Purslane, finely chop the onions and cut the potatoes into cubes.

2. Sweat the onions in butter, add the potatoes after a short time. After 1-2 minutes add the wine and allow to evaporate. Now add purslane and 3/4 of the broth. Cook until the potatoes are soft (about 20 minutes)!

3. Now smoothly mash!

If the soup is too tough, add the rest of the broth.

4. Add 1tbsp cream fraiche, some grated nutmeg ans taste with salt & pepper.

5. Chop the chilli and serve with a tbsp. cream fraiche and chilli on top!

Enjoy it!
