Tips
The nutrition data are for the entire recipe so calculate your per serving amounts based on how many servings you serve.
Directions
Saute leeks in oils until soft, about five minutes. Don't brown. Add asparagus, garlic, zucchini, and water. Cook for about 6 minutes until the vegetables are nearly soft. Add the spinach and cover. Cook about five more minutes. Remove from heat for 10 minutes, then use the blender to smooth the soup. Careful! It is still hot! To serve, put in a bowl and top with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
The flavor will vary with the liquid. If you do dairy, you could add cream but this soup is pretty creamy without it.
Serving Size: Makes about 6 servings: a big pot
