  • 1 cup vegetable broth, low-sodium
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Parsley, fresh, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat stove to medium high heat. Add asparagus, leeks, plus any optional spices (fennel, thyme, dill). Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Add soup to the blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Add to individual serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes: This recipe can be made using 1/2 head of broccoli instead of asparagus. In step 2 you will have to simmer the soup longer to make sure broccoli is cooked. Also, for a creamier soup, you can add a tablespoon of Cashew Cream when blending.
