Green Pea And Asparagus Soup With Poached Eggs And Toast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 leeks, white part only, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 5/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups frozen green peas
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (1/2-ounce) pieces crusty multigrain bread, toasted
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add stock, thyme, salt, and pepper; bring to a simmer. Add peas and asparagus; cover and cook 3 minutes. Place pea mixture and 3 1/2 tablespoons parsley in a blender. Remove center piece of lid (to allow steam to escape); secure lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in lid. Blend until smooth.
- While soup simmers, add water to a skillet, filling two-thirds full; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; stir in vinegar. Break each egg into a custard cup. Gently pour eggs into pan; cook 3 minutes. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon; place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Divide soup among 4 bowls. Place 1 egg in each bowl; drizzle evenly with oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley. Serve with toast.
