Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the celery, carrot, onion, jalapeño, and garlic, and cook everything together until the onion softens up, about 5 minutes. Next, add the potatoes and pour in enough water to just cover the veggies. Stir in the bouillon and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer until the potatoes and carrots are tender, which should take around 40 minutes.

Step 2

Once the vegetables are cooked, take the pot off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. Return the pot to the stove and add the asparagus. Bring the soup back to a boil and cook just until the asparagus is tender but still has a bit of bite, about 5 minutes. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, and you’re ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this soup warm with a slice of crusty bread or a simple green salad. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley can add a nice touch. It also pairs well with grilled chicken or fish.

Storage Tips

Let the soup cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove, stirring occasionally to maintain the creamy texture. You can also freeze it for up to two months.
