Asparagus Soup

A green soup that is sure to warm you up this winter!

Creamy Asparagus Soup

1 1/2 lbs. asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 1/2 tbs. olive oil (or use vegetable broth)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped shallots (or a combination of shallots and onions)
1/2 lb. boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
2 vegetable bouillon cubes
Salt & Pepper

In medium saucepan heat oil (or vegetable broth) over medium heat.  Add shallots/onions & cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, 8 - 10 minutes.

Add potatoes, cut up asparagus and 4 cups of water.  Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.  Add bouillon and 1 tsp. salt.  Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

In food processor or blender, process soup in small batches until smooth and creamy.  Return to pot and add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve hot.  Enjoy!
