This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some more broth and it was much better.

Easy to follow recipe and turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.

This asparagus-potato-leek soup was a delightful surprise! The flavors melded together perfectly, and the soup had a creamy texture without being too heavy. I added a bit of extra garlic and black pepper, and it was perfect. Definitely a keeper!
