This soup is a great way to use up leftover asparagus and leeks. It's also a great option for a vegetarian or vegan meal.

I love the addition of the lemon zest. It really brightens up the soup and gives it a nice fresh flavor.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make. I love that I can use frozen asparagus and leeks, which makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this soup. The leeks and potatoes balance out the asparagus flavor perfectly.

This soup is so good! I love the creamy texture and the subtle flavors of the asparagus and leeks. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I think I might have added too much flour. Next time, I'll try adding less.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper or a little bit of garlic powder.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and always comes out delicious. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a little bit of extra garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick.

This asparagus leek soup was a delightful surprise! The flavors were rich and complex, and the texture was creamy and smooth. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
