A watercress soup ! A watercress soup in two different ways: one version rather ‘classic’ with ‘just ‘high quality’ ingredients and another version with some additional coconut cream. Funny how watercress flavours match with coconut… Watercress has been known for ever with magical properties, both nutritional and curative. We know today that this plant growing in water is loaded with iron and calcium. Watercress is also great with vitamins, fibers and phosphorus! Watercress leaves are strong green when it is really fresh . To clean it, take the bunch by the stems and soak the leaves into a crystal clear vinegar-water solution. Then cut the stem skimming the knot holding the bunch. Rince again. You’re ready to eat some watercress !Ingrédients:
