Ingredients

4 slices bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 leeks, rinsed well and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Roasted asparagus, chopped, about 4 cups
1 baking potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup diced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
Special Equipment: Immersion blender, optional
Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Arrange bread cubes on prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle cubes with parmesan cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the croutons are baking, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, or until soft. Add bay leaves and thyme and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add asparagus, potato and broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, partially cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until potato is fork tender. Remove bay leaves, and using an immersion blender, or a regular *blender working in batches, puree soup until smooth. Ladle soup into bowls and top with sundried tomatoes and croutons.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would be better to use less salt or to omit the Parmesan cheese altogether.

This soup is a must-try for asparagus lovers! The roasted asparagus gives it a rich, smoky flavor and the sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan add a nice touch of tanginess and crunch. I highly recommend serving it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional herbs or spices.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus soup, but this recipe changed my mind! The roasting process really brings out the flavor of the asparagus and the sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan add a nice depth of flavor.
