Displaying HTML with Blade shows the HTML code

I have a string returned to one of my views, like this: $text = '<p><strong>Lorem</strong> ipsum dolor <img src="images/test.jpg"></p>' I'm trying to display it with Blade: {{$text}} However, the output is a raw string instead of rendered HTML. How do I display HTML with Blade in Laravel? PS. PHP `echo()` displays the HTML correctly.
