DOUBLE GARLIC SOUP
This creamy soup of pairs two spring delicacies: green garlic, which are the tender bulbs that arrives early in the season, still attached to the greens, and garlic scapes, which look like curlicue tulip stems are the flower shoots of the garlic bulb. The two are sautéed in butter, then puréed.

Steps:
- Chop green garlic. In a soup pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add green garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add scapes, thyme, salt and pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Stir in potato and broth, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until scapes and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add half-and-half, and purée soup with an immersion blender or pour into a regular blender. Stir in the lemon juice and season with more salt and pepper. Garnish with nutmeg and thyme leaves, and serve hot.
