PURéE OF ASPARAGUS SOUP
By now, those of you who follow my work have seen a number of simple pureed soups that begin with onions, potatoes and leeks. Here's another one. The beautiful pale green soup is all the more fragrant because I use the asparagus trimmings for the broth.

Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Strain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the leek, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook gently for five minutes, stirring often, until the onion and leek have softened. Add the garlic, stir together for a minute, then add the potatoes, broth, bouquet garni and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add the chopped asparagus (not the 12 spears), and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, and remove the bouquet garni.
- Puree the soup with a hand blender or, working in 1-1/2 cup batches, ladle the soup into a blender. Place a towel over the blender, and pull it down tightly to prevent splashing. Blend each batch, then (whether you pureed the soup in the pot or in a blender) put through a medium strainer, pushing it through with the bottom of your ladle or with a spatula. Return to the pot. Heat through, and add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, steam the 12 asparagus spears for four minutes, until just tender. Refresh with cold water, then slice about 3/4 inch thick.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish each serving with a handful of sliced asparagus, sprinkle with tarragon and serve.

PUREE OF ASPARAGUS - FROM SPLENDID SOUPS
Steps:
- Boil water in a 6 quart pot. Cut off and discard 2 inches of the asparagus base. Cut off the tips and reserve. Chop stalks into 1-inch segments and reserve. When the water comes to a boil, put the asparagus tips in a strainer and submerge them for 2 to 3 minutes (tender but not mushy). Take them out - don't throw out the water - and rinse them under cold water. Put the stalks in the boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes to eliminate bitterness. Rinse stalks under cold water - pour out the water. Heat butter in 4 quart pot over medium heat. Add onions and potato and stir every 2 minutes for about 10 minutes, until onions turn translucent (not brown) and potatoes soften slightly. Add the broth, the cut-up asparagus stalks, and the parsley. Simmer for 15 minutes until the asparagus and potatoes are thoroughly softeneed. Puree the soup in a food processor. Strain it thru a medium mesh strainer. Heat the soup, add the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper. Either add tips to soup or heat them and arrange on top of soup (on a thin slice of buttered toast).

Steps:
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, peel the bottom halves with a vegetable peeler, and cut into 1-inch lengths. Reserve and set aside the tips.

- Add the asparagus pieces (except for the reserved tips) and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the solid ingredients to a food processor. Puree in batches until smooth and stir back into the liquid in the soup pot. Or insert an immersion blender into the soup pot and puree until smooth. Let the soup stand off the heat while doing the finishing steps.
- Break the buckwheat noodles into 1- to- 2-inch lengths. In a separate saucepan, cook them in rapidly simmering water until al dente. Drain and rinse them briefly under cool water, then stir into the soup.
- In the same saucepan, steam the reserved asparagus tips until bright green and tender-crisp, then stir into the soup.

FRESH ASPARAGUS SOUP
I haven't tried this yet, but it came to my inbox today and I wanted to share it. It looks like a creamy and delicious soup, and I didn't even have to modify much to make it dairy-free. I love the additions of yogurt, lemon, and parmesan cheese! It's from Nanook at Allrecipes.com.
