This vibrant wilted greens soup is a wonderful way to use up a variety of salad leaves, from peppery rocket to buttery Boston lettuce. It is a light yet nourishing low-sugar dish that celebrates the fresh flavours of spring and summer. The addition of frozen peas adds a delicate sweetness, while a single potato provides a velvety texture without the need for heavy flour-based thickeners.
Ideal for a healthy lunch or a sophisticated starter, this versatile soup can be adapted based on whatever greens you have in the fridge. The finishing touch of tangy crème fraîche and a shower of fresh garden herbs like mint and chives elevates the earthy base into something truly special. Serve it with crusty wholemeal bread for a satisfying, nutrient-rich meal.

Ingredients for Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 onion, chopped
3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
1 small Yukon Gold or 1/2 russet potato, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
950ml low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups chopped mixed wilted greens (such as Boston, cos, rocket, iceberg, red oak, and/or green oak)
300g frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Crème fraîche and chopped fresh chives, tarragon, mint, and/or parsley (for serving)
How to make Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche
Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook onion and thyme, stirring often, until onion is translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until potato surfaces look chalky, about 2 minutes. Add broth, bring to a boil, and cook until potato is tender, 8–10 minutes. Stir in greens, peas, and sugar, remove from heat, and let sit 10 minutes to allow greens to soften. Purée soup in a blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Serve soup topped with crème fraîche and herbs.
