Creamy Asparagus Soup

Step into spring with this easy blender soup that showcases fresh asparagus, leeks, shallots, and just a touch of cream from a last-minute drizzle of crème fraîche.

    3 to 4 cups vegetable stock (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
    Crème fraîche, for serving

Direction :
