I have a habit which I try to never change: every day for lunch we should have a hot bowl of soup, no matter if outside is cold or hot, rainy or windy, humid or cloudy. So, choosing from the long list of veggies which cand bring happiness to a bowl of soup, today I will share with you my Zelidecious White Asparagus and Leek Creamy Soup. No need to tell you how good it is! 

Ingredients fo 4-6 servings:

• 50 gr. butter
• the white part of a leek, washed and thinly sliced (around 200 gr.)
• 3 sliced garlic cloves
• 100 ml dry white wine
• 100 gr, celery root, diced
• 500 gr. white asparagus, woody ends trimmed 
• 1 medium white potato, peeled and diced
• 2 L boiling water
• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Place a pot over high heat and add the butter and the leek. Leave to caramelise, around 5-7 min, stirring occasionally. Very important to leave the leek to caramelise, even get a little brown color, as this is going to give a delicious flavour to the soup.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 more min, continuing to stir.
3. Pour the wine and, cook further for 2 min and add the celery root, white asparagus, potato and 2L boiling water. Cover with a lid and simmer for 25 min.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste and blend the soup with a hand/stand blender. 
5. Enjoy with croutons or fresh crunchy bread!
