Here is an Italian soup that deserves to be better known. All year-round supplies of rocket can be achieved by regular sowings of rocket between February and October.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) floury potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
  • Sea salt
  • 1 large

Method

Cover the potatoes with cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for about 10 minutes and then add the rocket. Cook until the potatoes are very soft. Add the bread and stir well.

In a frying pan, heat the oil and fry the garlic for just a few moments. This is to flavour the oil – the garlic is then removed and the oil stirred into the soup.
