Coconut Asparagus Leek Soup

[shanmonster]

I just tinkered around with a recipe and came up with this. I liked it so much I ate two bowls. Yum!

2 tablespoons butter
1 leek, white part only, halved lengthwise, washed thoroughly and chopped
¾ pound asparagus, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth (I used this recipe for the stock)
1/3 cup coconut milk

• Heat the butter in a large pot until the foam disappears.
  
• Add leek and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and asparagus and cook for another minute.
  
• Add vegetable broth and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and put a lid on the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes, until asparagus is tender.
  
• Stir in coconut milk, then transfer to blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately, or put it back in pot on low to heat through.

Holy crap that sounds delicious! I'm going to have to save this recipe and try it after I finish up my Thanksgiving feast leftovers.
