  • Summary

    The wild leeks called ramps have a strong, garlicky flavor; they emerge from the ground in the spring. If ramps are unavailable in your area, using more leeks makes an equally delicious soup.

    Ingredients

    • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 5 cups thinly sliced leeks, white and pale-green parts only (7 or 8 medium leeks)
    • 2 cups thinly sliced ramps
    • 4 cups water
    • 2 cups milk
    • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 pound)
    • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 2 bunches watercress (about 8 ounces), washed, tough ends trimmed
