Ingredients
3 leeks; white & pale parts
2 lb asparagus; trimmed and cubed
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
5 cup chicken stock
Cooking Directions:
Be sure to wash leeks thoroughly under cold running water, spraying the water in between all layers to rinse away any grit. Coarsely chop leeks. Cut asparagus into 1 1/2 inch lengths; set aside.
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook leeks, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes longer or until very soft. Stir in lemon rind; cook for 1 minute. Add asparagus, stock and 1 cup water; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until asparagus is tender. Remove and set aside 1 cup of the asparagus tips. In blender, puree remaining soup in batches until very smooth. (Soup can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
Return soup to pot; reheat over low heat. Ladle into bowls; garnish with reserved asparagus tips. Makes 8 servings.
