Cheesy Ramp “Garlic” Bread

[heart_this] · May 22, 2010 · 7 Comments

Roasted Asparagus Soup with Cheesy Ramp

With the fresh local asparagus season just starting, the first thing on my list to make was the asparagus soup with morel mushrooms and ramps that I enjoyed so much last year. Unfortunately I was not able to find any morel mushrooms but I knew the soup would taste great even without them and besides, this time I wanted to try roasting the asparagus so there would be even more flavour from that. I was thinking that just a bowl of asparagus soup was a little light even for a light meal and I thought that some garlic bread, which is my favorite side for soup, would fill it out a bit. I had some ramps left over form the soup and I thought that the fresh ramps would make a great substitute for garlic in a “garlic” bread. One bonus was that if I included the ramps leaves then I would not need to add parsley to the “garlic” butter to add some green. The ramp garlic bread turned out so amazingly well! I really enjoyed the sense of freshness that the ramps had over the garlic and it went really well in the bread and the bread went perfectly with the asparagus soup.

    I love garlic bread, but home made is key, 'cause the store bought one are so bland. Your version is a far cry from bland!!
