POTATO AND LOVAGE SOUP
I purchased 5 lovage plants because the man at the garden center praised its use in potato salad. When I planted them my Polish neighbor, who was surprised to see "Lubczyk" as she had never seen it growing in this country, told me that in Poland they make soup with it. Naturally I did some Internet research to find some recipes. As I always change recipes and improvise as I go, this is what I wound up with. We loved it. Let me warn you...Lovage is a natural diuretic, so if you make this prepare to have your kidneys working overtime!

Steps:
- In a large saucepan begin by cooking your bacon slowly, until crisp. Remove bacon to a side dish and crumble it when cooled.
- In the bacon grease add your chopped onion and sauté till translucent. Now remove your onion to the bacon dish.
- Add your cubed potatoes to the remaining grease. Add the butter if the bacon grease is not sufficient. Sauté until the potato cubes are a little golden but not cooked all the way through.
- Now add your bacon, onions, bay leaves, chicken stock, and salt and pepper. Cook this until your potatoes are thoroughly cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
- Then add your chopped lovage and cook for 10 more minutes or until lovage is tender.
- Finally add your milk and bring back to temperature without boiling or the milk may curdle.
- For a creamier consistency take an immersion blender and partially blend the soup, leaving about 50% of the potatoes whole. Add lovage leaves or fresh parsley for garnish. Serve.

OLD FASHIONED LOVAGE AND POTATO SOUP
A family favourite in our household.....a creamy and easy soup which needs nothing more than good crusty rolls or home-baked bread to serve with it. This travels well in a Thermos flask making it an ideal and comforting soup to take on a picnic. This recipe is based on a Historical 16th/17th Century recipe, no milk was added then - it was made with stock only.

Steps:
- Put the onion into a heavy-based saucepan.
- Add the stock and bring to boiling point very slowly so the onion begins to soften a little.
- Meanwhile coarsely chop a small handful (5 or so tablespoons) of lovage.
- Add the potato and herbs to the pan and pour on 1/2 pint buttermilk.
- Increase the heat very slightly and bring the mixture to a bare simmer.
- Stir vigorously all the while as the potato starch will thicken the soup, which may stick to the pan base.
- Half-cover the pan and reduce heat as low as possible once again.
- Cook very gently indeed, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are perfectly tender.
- Whizz the contents of the pan to a smooth puree.
- Season with salt and pepper and with extra lovage if you like.
- Whizz again and thin to taste with a little more stock or buttermilk.
- Reheat gently or chill thoroughly before serving, then garnish with a swirl of buttermilk and a small piece of chopped fresh lovage.
