Creamy Radish Soup

In this creamy radish soup recipe, radishes are sautéed and pureed with potato, creating a velvety, healthy soup. Cooking radishes also tones down any bitterness while leaving plenty of sweet, earthy flavors to enjoy. Using smaller radishes will give the soup a pretty pink hue, like the one pictured here, while larger radishes result in an almost white soup.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced radishes (from 2 bunches), divided
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 medium yukon gold potato (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups low-fat milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼-½ teaspoon white or black pepper
  • ¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh radish greens or parsley
