The main ingredients. Yes, you are supposed to separate the asparagus into three groups: tips, middles, and ends. No, it's not required to stack them into pyramids. I'm just extremely OCD.
Each part of the asparagus is added at different times and cooked in different ways. I used celery instead of leeks. I didn't have any leeks.
The tender part of the celery simmering in butter and olive oil with diced onion.
After everything is cooked and combined, it's all liquefied in the food processor. I made enough to feed the Goslin family.
The seasonings and lemon juice are added during the final simmer. I took a few liberties to suit my own pallet. There's certainly more salt than called for.
Soup's on

Your soup looks really good. Dad keeps teasing me because I take so much time preparing my food and making it perfect that by the time I sit down to eat they are already done. Cooking is a passion of mine too. But, I have had to put it on hold to have a family. It is no fun to start making something and then get distracted every few minutes just to go back to it and realize it's burnt or something. I really enjoy cooking new things and I also go to allrecipes.com I love your cooking posts so keep them coming.
Shane. You forgot to mention what you thought of the soup.
I'd give it a B-. It was good, but I know it would be even more delicious if it was packed with cream or coconut milk. However, for a "healthy" soup, without meat, it's pretty dang good. I ate it with garlic toast.
What's the Soupe du jour?
It's the Soup of the Day.
Mmmmm. That sounds good. I'll have that.
Looks good. I'm going to try this since asparagus is now on sale.
I tried a roasted asparagus and chicken soup after I saw your post. It was eaten but will never be made again. Would you make this one again?
I would make it again, although I'd probably use the same tweaks I did this time, plus add some bacon or ham. I've added some bacon to a single bowl, and it was even better.
