Ingredients

  • 10 asparagus spears, ends removed and chopped
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed

Method

  1. 01

    Snap off woody ends from 10 asparagus spears and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cube 1 medium potato.

  2. 02

    Place potato cubes in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 8 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add asparagus pieces and continue steaming for another 6-8 minutes until both are fork-tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 3-4 tablespoons of steaming liquid.

  5. 05

    Blend until smooth and creamy; the potato creates a velvety base that balances asparagus's bright flavor.
