Creamless soup featuring vibrant asparagus, leeks, and potatoes.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed and stalks cut into small pieces
  • 4 medium leeks, sliced, white parts only and thoroughly washed
  • 2 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream, or as desired
  • 1 pinch paprika, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt butter until sizzling. Add fresh asparagus, leeks, potatoes, shallot, and garlic, stirring often. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender but still firm, which should take around 5 minutes.
  • Coat the vegetables in flour in the pot, ensuring they are fully covered without burning. Add warm water, chicken stock, and a bouillon cube. Simmer the soup for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked.
  • Transfer the hot soup to a food processor and blend until it reaches your preferred consistency. Serve in bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of paprika, and a dash of pepper for garnish.
