Steps:
- Snap the asparagus. **
- Chop the stalks into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
- Clean and slice the leeks and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts and the bubbles subside.
- Adding olive oil is an old French trick to keep the butter from burning, so the olive oil isn't necessary if you use ghee.
- Add the leeks and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add chopped asparagus, salt, and pepper. Sauté another 8 to 10 minutes until the asparagus begins to soften.
- Pour in brandy and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and simmer over medium heat until the asparagus is tender, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Using an immersible blender or working carefully in batches with a standard blender, pureé the soup until smooth.
- The mixture will be quite thick, so work carefully to avoid burns as you blend.
- Return to medium-low heat OR cool and place in the freezer for future meals.
- When ready to serve, heat over medium-low, add cream, and heat just until hot.
- Do not boil.
- Ladle into bowls and place a pile of crabmeat in the middle of each bowl, if using.
CREAM OF LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
Steps:
- In a large heavy saucepan, bring the leeks, potatoes, water, and salt to the boil over high heat. Cover partially, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Correct the seasoning, to taste, and puree with a handheld immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor.
- Whisk in the cream and reheat before serving. Top each serving with a dollop of creme fraiche and sprinkling of fresh chives.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS AND LEEK SOUP

- Add asparagus and 4 cups of the chicken stock. Season with pepper. Simmer for 1/2 hour or until vegetables are tender.
- Puree the soup in small batches adding the remainder of the stock.
- In another pot reheat (but not boil) the puree while whisking in the cream (or milk.).

ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP
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!
