Creamy Asparagus Sunchoke Soup

4.5
2 ratings
Bright green asparagus, rubbly sunchokes, mellow shallots and one potato (to create that silky mouth feel). And unlike other soups that simmer away on the stovetop for an hour or more, this one only takes 20 minutes. Just enough time to cook the vegetables before being pureed into oblivion. This simple soup is a great starter for dinner or makes a light meal on it’s own with a crust of whole grain bread and a glug or two of white.
