POTATO, BACON, HAM, & RAMP (WILD LEEK) SOUP
Ramps grow from South Carolina to Canada, and in many areas they're considered a spring delicacy and even a reason for celebration. The flavor is a cross between a green onion or scallion and garlic. Dig these spring treasures now because their growing season is limited to a few short weeks. My husband and I are fortunate to...

Steps:
- 1. Sautee the bacon with the onion until the onion is translucent or almost tender. Add the water, bouillon, potatoes, ham, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- 2. Add the chopped ramps to to the simmering pot. Thoroughly combine the milk with the flour and add that to the pot too. Cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with a small pat of butter placed on the surface of each bowl of soup.
- 3. Note: Regular cultivated leeks, found in most grocery stores, make an excellent substitute for wild leeks in this recipe but trim off and discard the tough part of the green tops if using them.
CREAM OF RAMPS (WILD LEEKS) SOUP
The flavor of ramps is similar to onions, particularly like scallions, but wilder. They can be used just like scallions. In Appalachia, they are so popular that festivals are dedicated to them. They've been a staple of Southern Appalachian cooking for generations. If ramps are unavailable, feel free to sub regular leeks or scallions.

RAMP SOUP
Steps:
- Trim roots from ramps and slip off outer skin on bupounds if loose. Cut green tops from ramps and coarsely chop enough greens to measure 3 cups (reserve remainder for another use). Thinly slice ramp bulbs, including pink stems.
- Cook ramp bulbs, onion, white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add wine, then boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until evaporated completely. Add broth and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until onions and ramps are very soft, about 20 minutes. Stir in ramp greens and boil 1 minute.
- Working in batches, purée soup in a blender until very smooth, about 1 minute per batch (use caution when blending hot liquids), then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Return soup to cleaned pot and bring just to a boil. Whisk in cheese and butter until smooth. Season with salt.
RAMPS (WILD LEEKS) SOUP
The flavor of ramps is similar to onions with a touch of garlic, particularly like scallions, but wilder. They can be used just like scallions. In Appalachia, they are so popular that festivals are dedicated to them. They've been a staple of Southern Appalachian cooking for generations. Scallions (white part only) may be substituted for the ramps. Cooking time is approximate.

17 RAMP RECIPES SO YOU CAN GET ‘EM WHILE THEY’RE GOOD
From bonappetit.com
Author Joe SevierPublished Jan 18, 2023
- Pasta With Ramp Pesto and Guanciale. You may be tempted to blitz raw ramps with olive oil and Parmesan, but this ramp recipe asks you to take one more step: Briefly cook the green leaves in a large pot of boiling salted water, then cool them in ice water before you purée them.
- Chicken Primavera. Primavera means spring in Italian, so feel free to bring any of the season’s green veggies into the mix: fava beans, sugar snap peas, or, yes, wild ramps for that wild garlic and onion flavor.
- Pickled Ramps. While you can’t exactly have ramps year-round, you can make the season last a little longer with the help of a mason jar and some white wine vinegar.
- Toast With Ramp Kimchi and Poached Eggs. They look like spring onions, but there is no mistaking that garlicky flavor: Those are ramps on that toast, and they’ve been mixed with gochugaru, fish sauce, and ginger to wake you (and your taste buds) up.
- Shrimp Ramp-y. The name says it all: Shrimp with a garlicky, pungent, buttery scampi sauce. (The combination of garlic and ramps may seem like overkill, but we promise it’s not.)
- Buttermilk-Fried Ramps. You will need a deep-fry thermometer if you don’t already have one, but believe us when we say it’s worth it. These buttermilk-fried ramps are the martini accompaniment of your wildest, most delicious dreams.
- Fried Rice With Spring Vegetables and Fried Eggs. Ramps, shallots, serrano chiles, ginger, asparagus, and peas go into this springtime egg and rice stir-fry.
- Grilled Ramps With Sherry-Ramp Vinaigrette. This recipe is an excellent place to start if you’re having ramps for the first time. You’ll get to enjoy them two ways (both raw and grilled) and see them in full, so closely resembling their cousins, scallions.
- Ramp and Walnut Pistou. You’ll often see pistou as an accompaniment to a soup recipe: Soupe au pistou is a Provencal classic. Here, we’ve made a walnut and ramp version, which you can drizzle on soup, dollop over roast chicken, or scoop up with a slice of baguette.
- Ramp Kimchi. Want those ramps you snagged at the farmers market to last? Ferment them with this recipe for kimchi, which will preserve the ramp leaves and bulbs for up to one month.

From marthastewart.com
- RAMP PESTO. A couple bunches of ramps, olive oil, and salt and pepper are all you need to make a sublime sauce for deviled eggs, farinatas, roasted lamb -- you name it.
- CREAMY RAMP AND BARLEY SOUP. Ramps give this light spring soup its beautiful verdant color, not to mention its deep flavor. Pureeing half makes it nice and creamy with just the right amount of texture.
- PICKLED RAMPS. The best way to make ramp season last longer? Pickle them! Our flavorful brine calls for white-wine vinegar, fresh thyme, and a host of spices -- coriander, fennel, black peppercorns, and red-pepper flakes.
- PAPPARDELLE WITH RABBIT, RAMPS, AND WILD GARLIC. You can also use chicken in this simple pasta dish, but we say be adventurous -- go for the rabbit! It gets super tender when braised and pairs well with the ramps and wild garlic.
- GRILLED RAMPS WITH ASPARAGUS. Combine ramps with another early spring ingredient, asparagus, toss with a little olive oil, and give them a quick turn on the grill.
