Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Asparagus, Leek, and Potato Soup.
Step 1
Begin by melting butter in a spacious soup pot over medium heat, creating a rich base for your dish.
Step 2
Introduce the vibrant asparagus, leeks, diced potatoes, shallot, and minced garlic to the pot.
Step 3
Sauté these ingredients, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes become tender yet retain their shape, which should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring gently to ensure an even coating while avoiding any burning.
Step 5
Gradually pour in warm water and chicken stock, then add a chicken bouillon cube for an extra depth of flavor.
Step 6
Bring this delightful mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, allowing the ingredients to harmonize beautifully.
Step 7
Once the soup is ready, carefully transfer half of it to a food processor or blender.
Step 8
Blend until you achieve your preferred consistency, then return the creamy mixture to the pot and repeat with the remaining soup.
Step 9
Finally, ladle the warm soup into bowls and elevate your presentation with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of paprika, and a dash of freshly ground black pepper.
Step 10
Enjoy this comforting bowl of goodness, perfect for any occasion.
