ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP



Asparagus, Leek, and Potato Soup image

This was just a creation I came up with when my asparagus was looking a little old. At first, I thought I was going to add some sort of cream base, but the soup ended up not needing it. The vegetables just taste lovely as they are. Even my husband who hates soup and asparagus LOVED this! It is also a great way to use almost-expired vegetables in your veggie drawer!

LEEK-AND-ASPARAGUS CRISPY RICE



Leek-and-Asparagus Crispy Rice image

This recipe is a masterclass in how mixing textures can elevate a simple, weeknight dinner to new and delicious levels. By giving the rice a few minutes in a hot skillet to form a crackly crust, you're creating little nuggets of crunch to disperse throughout the bowl. Leeks take on a buttery quality once cooked, melting into fluffy rice and crisp-tender asparagus. Lastly, an egg-fried just until the yolk can be used as a silky sauce-becomes the crown on top of a most excellent vegetarian rice bowl.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped leeks, white parts only (from 2 large), washed thoroughly
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 cups cooked white rice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
1 cup blanched fresh or thawed frozen peas
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and dill, plus more for serving
Fried eggs, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in asparagus and 1/2 cup water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until asparagus is bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Return skillet to high heat; swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Spread rice in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until crisp in places, about 4 minutes.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS AND LEEK SOUP

LEEK & POTATO SOUP

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Soup

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g butter
450g potatoes, peeled and cut into 1cm pieces (try Golden Wonders or Kerr Pinks)
1 small onion, cut the same size as the potatoes
450g white parts of leeks, sliced (save the green tops for another soup or stock)
850ml-1.2litres/1.5-2pts light chicken or vegetable stock
142ml carton whipping cream
125ml full-fat milk
the white part of 1 leek
a small knob of butter
finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Melt 50g butter in a heavy saucepan. When it foams, add 450g potatoes, cut into 1cm cubes, 1 small onion, cut the same as the potatoes, and 450g white parts of leeks, sliced and toss them in the butter until they are well coated.
  • Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper and toss again. Put a disc of greaseproof paper (called a cartouche by chefs) on top of the vegetables to keep in the steam), then cover the pan with its lid.
  • Cook over a gentle heat for 10 mins, or until the vegetables are soft but not coloured.
  • Uncover the pan and discard the paper. Pour in 850ml of the light chicken or vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the vegetables are just cooked - about 5 minutes. Do not overcook or the soup will lose its fresh flavour.

  • To finish the soup, finely shred the white part of 1 leek and gently cook it in a small knob of hot butter for a few mins until it is softened but not coloured.
  • Reheat the soup to a gentle simmer (add some extra stock at this point if the soup is too thick for your liking), then pour into warmed bowls.
  • Drizzle the remaining cream over each serving, top with a little pile of buttered leeks and a scattering of chives and black pepper and serve at once.
