ARTISANAL SAVORY BOTANICAL BOUILLON 🥣🌿✨
A rich, velvet-textured savory soup base, decarboxylated and infused simultaneously for maximum terpene retention and potency.
RECIPE INFO:
Category: Gourmet Infusion / Soup
Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Infusion/Simmer Time: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
THC per serving: Approximately 15mg (depending on flower potency)
TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Myrcene or Caryophyllene. These terpenes offer earthy, peppery, and musky notes that harmonize beautifully with the savory depth of roasted vegetables and beef or mushroom broths.
DOSAGE INFORMATION:
Based on 3.5g of 20% THC flower infused into 1 quart of soup. Total potential THC is approximately 700mg, but liquid-phase extraction efficiency varies. One 8oz serving provides approximately 15-20mg of THC.
PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND START LOW, GO SLOW!
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Liquid-based infusions can have a faster onset. Do not drive or operate machinery.
INGREDIENTS:
* 3.5 grams high-quality cannabis flower, coarsely ground
* 4 cups high-quality bone broth or rich mushroom stock
* 1/2 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
* 2 tbsp clarified butter or ghee
* 1 leek, white part only, finely cleaned and minced
* 2 cloves garlic, smashed
* 1 sprig fresh rosemary
* 1/2 tsp sunflower lecithin (to aid emulsification)
* Fleur de sel and white pepper to taste
DECARBOXYLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
This recipe utilizes the "Liquid-Phase Decarb" method. The decarboxylation occurs during the simmering process within the lipid-rich soup base, eliminating the need for a separate oven-bake step.
INFUSION INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the clarified butter over medium-low heat.
* Sauté the leeks and garlic until translucent but not browned.
* Add the bone broth, heavy cream, and sunflower lecithin. Stir until homogenous.
* Introduce the ground cannabis flower and rosemary sprig directly into the liquid.
* Bring the mixture to a very gentle simmer, maintaining a temperature between 210°F and 220°F.
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Maintain the gentle simmer for 4 hours. Use a digital thermometer to ensure the temperature does not exceed 225°F or drop below 200°F.
* Stir every 30 minutes to ensure the flower remains submerged in the fat-rich liquid.
* After 4 hours, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
* Strain the entire mixture through a fine-mesh chinois or cheesecloth-lined sieve into a clean pot. Press the solids firmly to extract all infused fats.
* Reheat the strained liquid gently. Season with fleur de sel and white pepper.
* Serve in pre-warmed porcelain bowls, garnished with a drizzle of non-infused cream or fresh herbs.
CHEF TIPS:
To ensure a crystal-clear and professional presentation, never allow the soup to reach a hard boil. Rapid boiling will emulsify the plant chlorophyll too aggressively, resulting in a bitter flavor and a murky green hue. A steady, barely-visible simmer is the key to a clean, gourmet savory infusion.
