Ingredients
  • 3 pounds of asparagus (tough ends removed), tips cut off and set aside
  • 2 cups of celery, chopped
  • 3 cups of onion, chopped
  • 1 pound of yellow potatoes, peeled (about 3 cups)
  • 6 cups of water
  • 1½ tsp dill
  • 1-1½ tbsp dill (depending on how dilly you want it)-we used dry because we don't have fresh yet, but fresh is preferred (just up your amounts)
  • Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients, except asparagus tips, in a soup pot
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce and cook until the potatoes are fork tender
  3. Using a stick blender, puree.
  4. Season with freshly ground pepper, and more dill if desired
  5. Steam tips in a little water until bright green.
  6. Top soup with asparagus tips and serve warm (could be eaten as a cold soup too if desired)
