Cream of Asparagus Soup with Potatoes
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 lb fresh asparagus, chopped
1 cooked potato, roughly chopped
1/2 onion, diced
3 ribs celery, chopped
2 tbs flour
2 cups soy milk
1/4 tsp dried tarragon
salt and pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the asparagus, onion and celery and reduce heat to medium low.
Allow to cook for 25-30 minutes. Add the potato, stir and cook for two minutes.
Pour the soup into a blender or food processor and blend until almost smooth.* Return soup to saucepan and add remaining ingredients.
Allow to simmer until thick, approximately another 8-10 minutes.
*This step is optional.
Personally, I prefer it to be a bit ‘chunky’ but some like a ‘creamed’ soup;-D
