Healthy Leek,Broccoli and Asparagus Soup by DK on Dec 6, 2007

Winter's in and its chilly throughout the day...Usually the first thing that comes to my mind is soup. Nothing beats the rain and chill outside like a soup, a creamy one at that. I like to go in for soups which are v creamy, tasty but does not compromise in health.

Leek,Broccoli and Asparagus soup is one such healthy and creamy bowl of heaven. It has all the keywords which are used to denote 'Healthy' and the surprising part for all those 'broccoli' and 'asparagus' haters is that you would be surprised at the taste of this soup. I can say so, cos I am one of you. :)Give it a shot and you would be astounded.

I was looking for a recipe for asparagus-broccoli soup when I came across this recipe.  Since I did not have leek at home, I made do with one additional onion.  It turned out absolutely "soupilicious".  Thanks a lot for the recipe.

Thoughly enjoyed the soup...very simple, healthy and yummy. Dropped out the potatoes as I'm on a diet that doesn't allow me to eat root vegetables and I didn't even notice that they weren't in there. To compensate for the potatoes I put in an extra leek and extra batch of asparagas. Will be making this recipe again. Thanks!!!

Is there something else I could use besides potatoe to help give it that texture? I'm vegan but I really don't like the taste of potatoe in my soup, thank you!!

I don't have leeks...will it be OK without them - or should I go get some?

Onions should be good instead.
