ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP
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!

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND POTATO SOUP
This yummy recipe came from my love of asparagus (especially when they're cheap and in season in early spring!), and some potatoes reaching their last mile. Asparagus is really cheap in SoCal starting in March, so this whole dish probably cost less than $10 to make. Add a sandwich and/or salad and it's a great health dinner. This is the best soup I've made... maybe had... so far. It's much easier with a stick blender, but any blender will do.

Steps:
- Remove hard ends of asparagus. Preferably this is done by grabbing each end of your asparagus and bending it until it breaks. It should naturally break where it's tough.
- Boil asparagus ends (normally they'd be tossed) and potatoes in vegetable stock and water as necessary to cover everything until potatoes are nearly done, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove tips of half of your asparagus. Toss all asparagus (and tips) in olive oil and all seasonings, and broil on high for 20 minutes, tossing regularly to prevent burning. Remove when some browning all over. If you think you've overdone it, just taste one before throwing. The asparagus carmelizes fast and may look burned when it's still fine. Firmness will vary with thickness of asparagus.
- Remove potatoes and asparagus ends from liquid. Toss asparagus ends. Add roasted asparagus, but reserve tips. Peel potatoes and chunk before adding back to pot. Chunk up potatoes to make blending easier.
- Continue to boil at high for 5 minutes or until potatoes are fully cooked.
- Blend in batches or with wand blender.
- Return to heat, add half of asparagus tips and let cook for another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add water if too thick.
- Remove from heat, and add cheese. If using a microplane to grate your hard cheese, use about 1 cup of loosely packed cheese.
- Serve with a few asparagus tips added to top of each serving.

ASPARAGUS POTATO SOUP
I was looking for a new way to eat asparagus and found this recipe in The Amish Cook at Home. I'm amazed at how simple yet delicious many of their recipes are (they look like you really worked hard). The potato thickens the soup, and it's a light color like a cream sauce. I left the skins on my potatoes and used probably a cup of onion, but otherwise I followed the recipe as listed. Make sure you whisk the milk and flour together (I added the flour slowly to the milk) or you'll end up with flour clumps. The asparagus stays nice and crisp. A variation suggested by the author is to sprinkle crumbled bacon on top as a garnish (now wouldn't that be heavenly).

Sauteed leek, celery, and carrot form a flavorful base; potatoes add heft; and Parmesan rind makes the broth luxurious and savory. But the real stars of the dish are asparagus, English peas, and sugar snap peas, each contributing seasonal flavor to every spoonful.

FRESH ASPARAGUS, ONION, POTATO SOUP
Easy and quick with the help of a food processor. This couldn't be easier and a great soup to make in a hurry. Serve as a starter for dinner or a main course with a side salad or sandwich. I make this often when my grocery store puts asparagus on sale or when they have it at the Farmers Market. It is easy on the budget and just comforting. You can top with some diced sauteed bacon, a toasted baguette or even some grated Monterey Jack cheese, which is creamy when it melts.

Steps:
- Asparagus -- First cut off about 14 tips - not to long. These will be lightly cooked in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just to lightly blanch or to soften them up. They are just a garnish. Rough chop the remaining asparagus. They are going in the food processor, so no need to chop them too fine.
- Soup Base -- To the food processor, add the diced asparagus (not the reserved tips), the onion, garlic, potatoes and a little of the broth, just to allow it to puree. Continue pulsing until smooth or the consistency you like best.
- Cook -- To a medium size soup pot, add 1/2 the butter and melt on medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook on medium to medium low and slowly cook the vegetables. They will take about 15 minutes until cooked through.
- Sauce -- As the vegetables cook, add the remaining butter to a small measuring cup and melt in the microwave (just 10 seconds or so). Remove from the microwave and add the flour and sherry and stir well. Pour this mixture into the vegetables, along with the broth and mix to combine. Bring to medium heat until the soup begins to thicken. Slowly whisk in the cream. You can add as much cream as you like. Some make like a more creamy texture and other less. So start slow and add 1 cup cream and a time until it reaches the consistency you like. Check for salt and pepper seasoning, and add the dill. Cook another 5 minutes until heated through.
- Asparagus Tips -- Wrap the tips in a damp paper towel and cook for 20-30 seconds in the microwave on medium high until they are slightly tender.
- Serve -- Top each bowl of soup with a couple of the asparagus tips and a little of the monterey jack cheese. You can also add bacon bits or a toasted baguette, or even bagel chips. Anything you want.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: For a creamy soup, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. For a chunkier soup, use waxy potatoes like Red potatoes or New potatoes.
- Roast the asparagus: Roasting the asparagus before adding it to the soup intensifies its flavor and gives it a slightly smoky taste.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the potatoes are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it gluey and bland.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
Conclusion:
This easy potato asparagus soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted asparagus.
