This is my version of a recipe that i saw in the san diego newspaper, but neglected to bring home with me. try freezing the puree in smaller batches and adding the divided cream on those days when asparagus is out of season. yummy!!

Steps

Trim green part of leeks and discard.
Thoroughly wash white portion and finely chop.
In large pot , saute leek , onion , and celery in butter and add white wine to keep vegetables moist.
Add asparagus and 4 cups of the chicken stock.
Season with pepper.
Simmer for 1 / 2 hour or until vegetables are tender.
Puree the soup in small batches adding the remainder of the stock.
In another pot reheat the puree while whisking in the cream.
Serve immediately.
