Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of Asparagus
  • 2 stalks of leeks - white and light green parts
  • 1 bunch green onion or 1 shallot
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil we use vegan infused butter olive oil by Millcreek Olive oil
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • If you like it hot ground cayenne pepper adds in that twist!
  • 4 Cups filtered water or vegetable broth

Instructions

  • Wash and trim leeks, green onions or shallot. I always choose the skinniest asparagus available, I break them and not cut them, where the stem bends and breaks is where you will get the tastiest part. Set a few tops aside for garnishment
  • Sauté the leeks, green onions or shallot, asparagus and olive oil until onions appear clear. About 5 minutes.
  • Add water or vegetable broth and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer 20 minutes.
