Author Notes
This summer I've been on a radish kick - buying them almost every week from the farmer's market. I've been trying to be less wasteful in the kitchen so I wanted to use the greens for something, and decided to turn them into a creamy soup. The result was an earthy, fresh, delicious flavor! —Katherine Turro

Using either an immersion mixer or a blender, mix together the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Transfer it back into the pot and continue stirring. Serve in soup bowls and top with a tablespoon of creme fraiche and other toppings if you'd like - I used chopped chives and chive blossoms!
