Guest Post - Ellen's Asparagus Soup
Hello everyone, I'm Ellen from Ellenbcookery. I'm so pleased to be guest posting again here at Laurie's cravings and happy you're back today. Laurie and I would like to show you what was done with the leftover asparagus stems we didn't use in yesterday's stuffed pepper recipe. Since the previous recipe only calls for the asparagus tips, I also made an asparagus soup with the remaining sticks. It's really tasty and uses simple ingredients. We hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 large organic onion, diced
approx. 3-4 cups of water (add more if you'd like)
1 organic vegetable bouillon
salt and pepper to taste
4 organic potatoes, quartered
leftover asparagus spears
splash of cream (optional)
Instructions:
Saute the organic onion in a large pot until well cooked.
Add water to pot, an organic vegetable bouillon, salt & pepper.
Once bouillon dissolves, add 4 quartered organic potatoes and cut up asparagus sticks.
Once potatoes are cooked, puree with hand blender.
Tasty on it's own, or you could add a splash of cream.
The soup sounds really good and I can't wait to try it on a cooler day. Congrats to you Laurie on the birth of your son and thanks Ellen for the great recipe!
