Ingredients:
1 leak, cleaned and sliced
3-4 cups vegetable broth
2 potatoes, cubed
1 small bunch fresh asparagus (or one can drained if out of season)
a pinch of thyme
a pinch of rosemary
salt to taste
1 cup rice or soy milk
Instructions:
- Saute sliced leaks in veggie broth or a TBS of olive oil, in a large pot until softened.
- Add potatoes. Add broth, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer covered for 15- 20 minutes, until potatoes are soft. Add thyme, rosemary and salt.
- Add asparagus and continue to simmer a few more minutes until asparagus is soft.
- Transfer in batches to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return to pot, add rice or soy milk, cook until heated. Adjust seasonings.
- On the TV segment I took a slice of Yves brand Vegetarian Canadian Bacon and sliced it thin, and put the thin slices in the soup for garnish.
