Fresh Spring Asparagus Soup
- 1 Tablespoon Butter Or Oil
- 1 whole Small Leek, Sliced In Half Moons (white Part Only)
- 1/2 whole Large Onion, Diced
- 6-1/4 ounces, weight Yukon Gold Potatoes, Very Small Dice
- 1-3/4 pounds, 2-7/8 ounces, weight Fresh Asparagus, Cut Into Small Chunks
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Rosemary
- 4 cups, 3 tablespoons, 1-7/8 teaspoons, 1/4 pinches Low Sodium Chicken Or Vegetable Stock
- 1/2 cups Plain Yogurt, Whole Or Half Fat
- Fresh Ground Salt And Pepper To Taste
- 1. In a large saute pan, heat oil or butter. Add leek, onion and potato and saute on medium heat until softened.
- 2. Add asparagus and herbs and saute another 1-2 minutes.
- 3. Add stock, bring to boil, reduce to simmer and simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until everything is tender enough to be put through a blender.
- 4. Blend in small batches (or use an immersion blender), adding yogurt and salt and pepper to each batch.
- 5. Serve garnished with additional yogurt if desired, but serve immediately. This soup is best consumed within a few hours of making it, but it will keep for a couple of days in the fridge (just with a stronger flavour).
