Asparagus & Leek Soup
A light sophisticated soup that's simple to make and sure to impress.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large stockpot, combine the water or stock, asparagus ends and separated leek greens.
- Heat over low heat and allow to simmer while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and oil.
- Add the leek 'whites', onion and rice and cook until the onion begins to color (about 8 minutes). Add 1 cup of the warm stock and cook 10 more minutes.
- Strain the stock of the asparagus and leek ends and return to the stockpot.
- Add the contents of the saute pan to the strained stock along with the asparagus middles and partially cover the pot. Cook 12 more minutes.
- Transfer soup to a food processor and puree. Strain this back into the stockpot. Season and add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
- Meanwhile, drop the asparagus tips into boiling salted water and cook until tender (about 4 minutes). Serve the soup with a few asparagus tips on top for garnish.
