Wild garlic and coconut cream soup

This stunning soup is perfect for a dinner party. Wild garlic is native to Britain and in season mid February to April. It has a lighter and more delicate flavour than the bulb variety. The taste of this soup is creamy with a delicate garlic flavour that is utterly delicious.

The coconut cream has brilliant anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and joint pain. To add some gut healthy probiotics, I’ve topped the soup with live coconut milk yoghurt.
