ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP
This was just a creation I came up with when my asparagus was looking a little old. At first, I thought I was going to add some sort of cream base, but the soup ended up not needing it. The vegetables just taste lovely as they are. Even my husband who hates soup and asparagus LOVED this! It is also a great way to use almost-expired vegetables in your veggie drawer!

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS AND LEEK SOUP
This is my version of a recipe that I saw in the San Diego newspaper, but neglected to bring home with me. Try freezing the puree in smaller batches and adding the divided cream on those days when asparagus is out of season. Yummy!

Drain the fat and toss the bacon in the maple syrup in the warm pan - then set to the side (7) serve soup topped with a few pieces of bacon & optional asparagus tips
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your soup. Look for asparagus and leeks that are bright green and crisp, and avoid any that are wilted or bruised.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than brown.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will also have a big impact on the flavor of your soup. If you can, use a homemade stock, or look for a store-bought stock that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
- Season to taste: Once your soup is finished, be sure to taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish your soup with fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or dill. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
