Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable broth in a large cooking pot over medium heat, and sauté the garlic, onions, and leeks.

Add the celery and asparagus, cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the rest of the vegetable broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and partially cover to simmer, 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For both Blendtec and Vitamix: Transfer to your blender and blend in batches until it's the desired smoothness using manual Speed 4 for 15 seconds for smooth, or pulse for chunky texture.

Add the soup back to the pot, bring to a simmer, and adjust seasonings to taste.

(Do this part first, set aside, then add to final step above.)

For both Vitamix and Blendtec: Add ingredients to your blender and blend on high until smooth, add as much as you want to make creamy.

Spoon into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

All done! Enjoy!! Now take a photo, rate it, and share your accomplishments! :) Tag @BlenderBabes & #BlenderBabes
