2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk
3 cups chicken broth
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 leaks, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 teaspoon Dom DeLuise All-Purpose Blend
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in flour and stir until smooth. Add milk, chicken broth and continue stirring until mixture bubbles and begins to thicken. Set aside.
Par-boil vegetables in 1 cup water until tender, about 5 minutes. With a wand hand blender, blend vegetables until pureed.
Add vegetables to milk mixture, season with Dom's All-Purpose blend and salt and pepper to taste. Heat thoroughly and serve with parsley sprinkled on top.
