Ingredients

300 gr green asparagus fresh
2 potatoes fresh
5 spring onions
1 stem celery
1 clove garlic
5 gr basil fresh
1 cube vegetable broth
1.5 l water
1 tbl spoon olive oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Peel and dice the potatoes. Cut the celery into pieces. Press the clove of garlic.
Put the olive oil in a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the potatoes, celery and garlic and stew, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
Pour over with the water and add the cube of vegetable stock.
Remove the lower woody part of the asparagus. Cut the rest into +/- 3 cm pieces. To decorate and texture the soup afterwards, I kept the tops of the asparagus separate. I lightly blanched them separately.
Cut the spring onion into pieces. Add the pieces of green asparagus (except the tops) to the soup along with the spring onion. Let it simmer for about 4 min.
Prick the potato cubes and when they are done, turn off the heat.
Blend the soup together with the basil leaves until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into plates, top with some of the asparagus tops and a basil leaf. Optionally add a little low-fat cream or coconut cream.
