Omar's recipe for Creeping Thyme Soup is not only a meal, but hopefully a miracle invention, too.
Ingredients:
1 pound rinsed, cleaned, and trimmed "Creeping Thyme"
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt, (plus more for final seasoning)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Optional:
lemon zest
1/2 cup cubed feta cheese
Procedure:
In a pot, combine water and 1/2 pound of creeping thyme. Cover and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, allow to sit and infuse for 30 minutes.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and chill water in the refrigerator.
Once water is cooled, transfer it to a blender.
Add an additional 1/4 pound of creeping thyme to the creeping thyme-flavored water.
Add olive oil, salt and sugar.
Blend for approximately 2 minutes until smooth.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Taste the soup, add additional salt, sugar or olive oil to taste.
To serve, warm soup and add lemon juice at the last moment before serving.
Serve in a bowl and garnish with lemon zest and feta cheese cubes.
Editor's Note: When using any wild plant, (whether store-bought or found), make sure to rinse it very well to cleanse them of any dirt or whatever else may be there.
