As I was reading through the last section of my Susun Weed book about violets it inspired me for tonight's dinner. I had already decided to make a leek and potato soup since I had a lot of leeks arrive in my vege box yesterday and the recipe I read was for a creamy leek and violet leaf soup.
The soup called for a cup of sweet violet leaves to be added and then some of the flowers sprinkled on top. I had heartsease flowers (Viola tricolour) and sweet violet leaves (although, not a cups worth) and here resulted my version of the Creamy Green Violet Soup.

How nice to add the violets! I just got to see Susun Weed at the SE Women's Herbal Conference. She is a wonderful storyteller in addition to her wise woman herbalism.
Oh, I would love to listen to her in person!
Yum! Lovely!
