Asparagus and Leek Bisque image

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
1 cup leeks, cleaned, thinly sliced, white part only
3 pounds fresh asparagus, tough ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken stock
1/2 cup sherry
2 cups heavy cream
1 pound lump crab (optional)
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and pepper. Sauté another 4 minutes.
  • Add flour and sauté until mixture begins to bubble and just starts to toast lightly. Gradually stir chicken stock into the flour mixture for a smooth consistency. Add sherry.
  • Simmer until asparagus is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Use an immersion blender to purée, and return pan to heat.
  • Add cream and crab (optional), and stir until just heated through. Do not boil.

This bisque is the perfect way to use up leftover asparagus. I had a bunch of asparagus that was about to go bad, so I made this soup and it turned out great.

This asparagus and leek bisque was a delightful soup! The flavors of the asparagus and leeks were perfectly balanced, and the soup was creamy and smooth. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
