Ingredients to make Green Asparagus Cream:

• 2 bunches of asparagus
• 1 leek
• 2 potatoes
• 1 liter of vegetable broth
• 1 splash of olive oil
• 1 pinch of salt

How to make Cream of Green Asparagus:

1. Clean the asparagus, cut off the base and discard or reserve it to make a homemade vegetable broth. Also cut the tips and cut the rest of the asparagus into small pieces so that they cook better. Clean the leek, remove the layers and wash it very well to get rid of all the dirt. Cut the leek into small pieces, peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces too.
2. Put a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the leek and the asparagus pieces to poach for about 5 minutes. Place the tips at the ends of the pan and remove them when they are tender. Reserve the tips and leave the rest in the pan until cooked and tender.
3. Add the chopped potatoes, cover with vegetable broth or water until all the ingredients are covered. Let cook for about 10 or 15 minutes and add a little salt. Leave it until the potatoes and asparagus are tender and if you see that there is no broth left, add a little more.
4. Tip: If you want to make this vegan cream of green asparagus, just use homemade vegetable broth or completely vegan ingredients.
5. When everything is cooked, put the vegetables in a glass and mash very well. Pass the homemade green asparagus cream through a sieve if you prefer a finer texture.
6. Add the cream to the saucepan. Salt taste and rectify if necessary. Heat the tips of the asparagus at the time of serving and accompany the cream with them. Serve with a splash of oil and a little ground pepper. Enjoy an exquisite light green asparagus cream!
