Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
½ onion, chopped
1 large jalapeno, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 potatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons beef bouillon
1 bunch asparagus, bottom halves removed and spears cut into inch-long pieces
2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add celery, carrot, onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and enough water to cover. Add bouillon and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Cook until potatoes and carrots are soft, about 40 minutes.
Remove soup from heat and use a hand blender to puree until creamy. Add asparagus and bring soup to a boil. Cook until asparagus is tender but not soft, about 5 minutes more. Add salt and pepper.
