Process

Wash and peel the potatoes and the carrots. Slice into pieces. Cut the onion into 4 pieces. Remove the hard end part of the asparagus and cut the top part from the few. Chop the parsley.

Place the potatoes, the carrots and the onion in a pan, cover with water and cook until cooked through. Add the asparagus and cook until cooked through.

Remove the pan with the cooked vegetables from the heat and mix using a hand mixer or a food processer. Depending on the consistency you prefer, mix until chunky or smooth.

Place a pan back on the high heat, mix in the stock cube, parsley and season to taste. Bring to a boil, cook for additional 1-2min.

In a separate pan, covered with water, cook the top parts of the asparagus until soft.

Serve the soup topped with a few asparagus top parts, a dollop of crème fresh and a drizzle of olive oil.
