Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add asparagus, leeks, potatoes, shallot, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes.

02

Step

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, being careful not to burn the flour.

03

Step

Gradually whisk in warm water and chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add the bouillon cube and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.

04

Step

Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food processor (filling it no more than halfway). Secure the lid and vent it slightly to allow steam to escape. Pulse to desired consistency, from slightly chunky to completely smooth.

05

Step

Return the blended soup to the pot and heat gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

06

Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock.
If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil and the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Omit the sour cream garnish or use a plant-based alternative.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

    I didn't have any leeks, so I used an onion instead. Still turned out delicious.

    I used an immersion blender and it worked great. Less cleanup!
