Creamy Asparagus Soup
From Karen_B 8 years agoIngredients
- 2 pounds asparagus shopping list
- 2 or 3 leeks shopping list
- 7 cups chicken broth shopping list
- 1/2 c. margarine or butter (I like butter) shopping list
- 1/2 c. flour shopping list
- 1 c. cream or half and half shopping list

How to make it
- Cut root end off of the leeks and slice the white part into rings and soak in some water to clean the sand and dirt from them. Drain.
- Trim ends off asparagus and cut into 1 inch pieces.
- Put asparagus and leeks and 1 cup of the broth into a medium skillet and saute for approximately 7 minutes or until leeks begin to soften.
- Meanwhile in a large saucepan, melt butter and remove briefly from heat. Add flour and stir into butter until smooth. Gradually add the remaining 6 cups of broth.
- Return to heat and let it cook, stirring frequently until thickens.
- Add cream or half and half, salt and pepper, asparagus, leeks, and broth mixture from the skillet and using a stick blender and blenderize until smooth.
