ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP



Asparagus, Leek, and Potato Soup image

This was just a creation I came up with when my asparagus was looking a little old. At first, I thought I was going to add some sort of cream base, but the soup ended up not needing it. The vegetables just taste lovely as they are. Even my husband who hates soup and asparagus LOVED this! It is also a great way to use almost-expired vegetables in your veggie drawer!

ASPARAGUS LEEK AND RED POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Asparagus Leek and Red Potato Soup Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by GuidingVegan

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch asparagus
6 red potatoes, scrubbed, cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 leeks, trimmed, white parts only, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (32-ounce) container vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, saute the leeks and garlic. Add asparagus until slightly caramelized. Add potatoes. Add the thyme leaves and vegetable stock, cover loosely and simmer until the asparagus is soft, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Puree soup with immersion blender. Add the almond milk or maybe coconut milk, salt and pepper and stir until hot. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh, tender asparagus, leeks, and potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. I recommend using a homemade stock, but you can also use a store-bought stock if you're short on time.
  • Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: Asparagus leek and potato soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, croutons, or a swirl of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Asparagus leek and potato soup is a delicious, creamy, and comforting soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
