Asparagus Soup

Here is my asparagus soup recipe - really, just eyeball it - it's easier.

2 bunches asparagus

2 leeks (white or yellow onions also work)

3 cloves garlic

1 quart veggie broth (by the way - found no-chicken imitation broth today at Felleti's - I will let you know how it tastes)

1 Bay Leaf

Salt and Pepper

Some kind of crouton (I love the Cheddar Cheese Pita chips from Trader Joe's crumbled on top)

So, you sautee the leeks (chop up the white part only) and the garlic together in a big pot with olive oil, until browned.

Chop the asparagus into 1 inch chunks, and toss those into the pot with the broth, and a bay leaf. Cover and let simmer for a while until the asparagus is soft.

Remove bay leaf and put the contents of the pot in a blender or food processor and puree. Add Salt/Pepper to taste.

Add whatever crouton you want on top - I think that something cheesy tastes best.

Enjoy!
