Bärlauch suppe – Wood Garlic soup, and little information about this delicacy.
It’s springtime in Austria, and one sure sign of it is liverwort starting to bloom, and tender wood garlic leaves pushing through forest soil.

So, this time, I converted this classic soup recipe into something new. To my surprise, I used soy milk instead…
