FRESH ASPARAGUS, ONION, POTATO SOUP
Easy and quick with the help of a food processor. This couldn't be easier and a great soup to make in a hurry. Serve as a starter for dinner or a main course with a side salad or sandwich. I make this often when my grocery store puts asparagus on sale or when they have it at the Farmers Market. It is easy on the budget and just comforting. You can top with some diced sauteed bacon, a toasted baguette or even some grated Monterey Jack cheese, which is creamy when it melts.

Steps:
- Asparagus -- First cut off about 14 tips - not to long. These will be lightly cooked in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just to lightly blanch or to soften them up. They are just a garnish. Rough chop the remaining asparagus. They are going in the food processor, so no need to chop them too fine.
- Soup Base -- To the food processor, add the diced asparagus (not the reserved tips), the onion, garlic, potatoes and a little of the broth, just to allow it to puree. Continue pulsing until smooth or the consistency you like best.
- Cook -- To a medium size soup pot, add 1/2 the butter and melt on medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook on medium to medium low and slowly cook the vegetables. They will take about 15 minutes until cooked through.
- Sauce -- As the vegetables cook, add the remaining butter to a small measuring cup and melt in the microwave (just 10 seconds or so). Remove from the microwave and add the flour and sherry and stir well. Pour this mixture into the vegetables, along with the broth and mix to combine. Bring to medium heat until the soup begins to thicken. Slowly whisk in the cream. You can add as much cream as you like. Some make like a more creamy texture and other less. So start slow and add 1 cup cream and a time until it reaches the consistency you like. Check for salt and pepper seasoning, and add the dill. Cook another 5 minutes until heated through.
- Asparagus Tips -- Wrap the tips in a damp paper towel and cook for 20-30 seconds in the microwave on medium high until they are slightly tender.
- Serve -- Top each bowl of soup with a couple of the asparagus tips and a little of the monterey jack cheese. You can also add bacon bits or a toasted baguette, or even bagel chips. Anything you want.
- Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO AND ONION SOUP
This simple recipe uses the sweet potato with its distinctive flavour and colour as the base for a delicious soup with a hint of orange and coriander. Taken from "What's Cooking : Potatoes" The recipe calls for the soup to be pureed, and the addition of yoghurt. I don't do this as we prefer chunky soups, so in fact, I stop at the end of Step 4! I squeezed fresh oranges for the orange juice.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, saute the bacon over medium heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Next, add the white onion and saute over medium heat until onions become translucent. Add the diced potatoes along with the olive oil and continue to saute for about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring frequently. When the potatoes begin to soften, add the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan (to deglaze).
- Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, checking on it every 5 minutes or so. Next, add the evaporated milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir so that ingredients are well mixed. At this time, you can use a hand held blender to puree the soup. If you don't have a hand held blender, use a food processor and pulse blend for a couple of minutes. You may add a bit more chicken stock if it seems too thick.
- When the soup is well blended and velvety, add back the bacon as well as the parsley and stir well. Simmer for a couple more minutes and then taste for proper seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted. Serve hot, adding some of the scallions for garnish and a small pad of butter. Serve with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425°. Combine the potatoes, onions, and garlic in a large roasting pan. Add the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the cabbage and another 1/2 teaspoon salt to the roasting pan, toss to combine, and roast until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and place it over two burners on the stove. Stir in 2 cups of the chicken stock and cook over low heat for a few minutes, scraping up any dark and crispy roasted bits that are stuck to the pan. Transfer the contents of the roasting pan to a 3 or 4 quart pot. Stir in 2 more cups of chicken stock, plus the milk and/or Pecorino Romano if using. Use an immersion blender or counter top blender to carefully purée the soup, adding up to 1 more cup of chicken stock if it's thicker than you like. Cook over low heat until hot and check the seasonings (salt brings out the flavors, and you may need more if your stock isn't very salty). Serve, garnished as desired.

SIMPLE CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO SOUP
Peel potatoes and dice into large chunks (this helps them cook faster) and chop celery. Add both into soup pot with the chicken broth. Simmer until veggies are tender and potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. While your veggies are simmering, in a separate pan, add the chopped onions along with butter. Cook them very low and slow, stirring frequently so they don't burn or brown, but develop a deep caramel color, for 15-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes or so, add the chopped garlic, and cook for the remaining few minutes. When your potatoes and celery are done, add the caramelized onions and garlic to the pot, and transfer to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Return blended soup to the pot, and add your milk or cream until the desired thickness and creaminess is achieved (this all depends on preference!) About 2 cups milk or 3/4 cup heavy cream is a good ballpark, but adjust based on preferences! Serve immediately, with parmesan cheese and chopped chives!

Tips for Making the Best Potato Onion Soup:
- Use a variety of potatoes. Different types of potatoes have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. For example, you could use a combination of Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes.
- Don't overcook the onions. Onions should be cooked until they are softened and translucent, but not browned. Overcooked onions will give your soup a bitter flavor.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.
- Serve your soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for potato onion soup include croutons, cheese, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Potato onion soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of soup that will warm you up on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give potato onion soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
