Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing and trimming your fresh asparagus, cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Next, clean the leeks thoroughly to remove any grit and chop them finely.
- In a large pot, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and sauté for about 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently until they become soft and translucent.
- Once the leeks are soft, add the cut asparagus pieces and tender green peas to the pot. Continue cooking for an additional 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in approximately 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 15–20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in the pot until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat and stir in about a cup of heavy cream. Let it heat gently for 3–5 minutes.
- To finish, add a couple of handfuls of washed baby spinach leaves and chopped fresh parsley to the pot. Stir until the spinach wilts.
- Lastly, taste your soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking before serving.
