ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP



Asparagus, Leek, and Potato Soup image

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!

FRESH ASPARAGUS, ONION, POTATO SOUP



Fresh Asparagus, Onion, Potato Soup image

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.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4-8 Bowls of soup, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs fresh asparagus, the rest should be rough chopped (Reserve about 14 tips, cut about 1 1/2-inch long as a garnish to each bowl)
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans white potatoes (you can use fresh peeled potatoes, but this is my QUICK soup, so I take advantage of a canned potato)
3 cups vegetable broth (chicken broth will work just fine)
3 cups heavy cream, adjust accordingly (you can use anywhere from 1-3 cups, depending on how thick or thin, or creamy you enjoy your soup)
1/4 cup sherry wine
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt
asparagus tips (lightly blanched)
monterey jack cheese

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!

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND POTATO SOUP



Roasted Asparagus and Potato Soup image

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.

Provided by MC Baker

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 bunches asparagus
4 small idaho potatoes, eyes removed
1/2 cup grated asiago cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, loosely packed
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
4 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
4 tablespoons olive oil

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.

  • Once the shallots are translucent add the potato, asparagus and tarragon.
  • After a minute, add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
  • Once the asparagus and potatoes are cooked through (timing will depend on size of pieces), puree in a blender and pass through a fine strainer.
  • Place back in pot and bring to a boil.
  • Since watercress is a little bitter, I suggest you add it gradually- puree& taste.
  • Repeat until it suits you.
  • Add the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with chervil.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 lb asparagus
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
2 leeks, thinly sliced
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup potato, peeled and diced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and trim asparagus; cut stalks into pieces and set tips aside.
  • In large, non-stick saucepan, heat oil; saute garlic, onion, leeks, and asparagus stalks just until softened, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Add stock and potatoes; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Puree in food processor until smooth OR cook a little longer until potatoes begin to break apart and forego the processing (personally I prefer the chunkier consistency).
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Return to saucepan (if you chose to process the mixture).
  • Steam reserved asparagus tips until just tender (approx. 2 mins); add to soup.
  • ENJOY! :-).
