Cream Of Asparagus Leek Soup With Creme Fraiche

    Cuisine:

    Cream of asparagus leek soup, leeks being a relative of onions, scallions and shallots, topped with a dollop of creme fraiche makes this one of my favorite Spring soups. The combination brings a wonderful subtle flavor and a creamy delicious finish.
