White Asparagus Cream Soup

Pale, thick, and creamy... Make this gorgeously delicious soup! If you love puréed soups, you're sure to fall for this one. It tastes extraordinary—refined and genuinely French. Your family will love it and will probably ask for seconds. I don't make it often, but it's always a real treat :)

    1. Peel the asparagus and trim the stalks so they're all the same length, tie them with kitchen string, and cook over moderate heat in salted water. It needs about 5 minutes, maybe a couple more. To check, pierce a spear with a knife—it should go in fairly easily. 2. Clean the leek (the white part) and cut it into rings. Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. 3. Melt the butter over low heat, add the leek, and cook until translucent, dusting it with flour a couple of times along the way. Then pour in the broth and add the potatoes to the pot. 4. Add a bouquet garni. It's easy—tie all the herbs together with string, wrap them in a little cheesecloth bag, and drop it into the broth. I often just add the tied herbs without the bag. 5. Bring the pot to a boil and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, then add the asparagus, cut into large pieces first. Lower the heat. 6. Add the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together for 10 minutes, then take the soup off the stove. 7. Blend everything (don't forget to remove the bouquet garni), then pour in the cream and bring to a boil, stirring. The soup is ready! Serve it with parsley and croutons. Enjoy!
