This soup has a very light and delicate flavor. I make this when our asparagas patch is producing in the spring.
Ingredients:
1 bunch leek, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
3 large potatoes, chopped
1 bunch fresh asparagus, chopped or 1 package frozen asparagus
1/2 lb fresh spinach or 1 package frozen spinach, chopped
1/3 cup raw rice
3 tablespoons butter
2 quarts water
4 teaspoons salt
1/2 pint heavy cream or 1/2 pint half-and-half
Directions:
1. Wash leeks well.
2. Saute leeks and onions in butter until limp.
3. Add 2 quarts water, carrot, potatoe, asparagas, and rice, and simmer 25 minutes.
4. Add spinach and cream- simmer 5 minutes more (Note- this soup is actually better if allowed to sit for a while).
