Whew, I think it took me longer to type the title of this than it took to make. Seriously, this was a really tasty vegetable treat (pardon the pancetta); I only wish the market asparagus had been fresher and greener. And I am really glad I went the extra mile to search out the amaretti cookies and fry up the leek garnish, because those were the proverbially frosting on the cake, or bowl in this case. I made it ahead of our weekend trip, brought a container to one of the daughters, but once again, here I am playing blog catch up.
So it started out like this:
When the leeks and potatoes had finished sauteeing, the asparagus, broth and seasonings were added:
Frying up some leeks:
And then there was soup; next time I would use more asparagus for a greener look and taste.
