Step-by-Step Instructions for Spring Asparagus and Potato Chowder
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and slowly sauté chopped leeks, onions, shallots, and minced garlic for about 10 minutes until soft.
- Add diced Yukon Gold potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring enough liquid covers the ingredients. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and then reduce to low. Cook for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in chopped asparagus and sweet peas and cook for another 5 minutes, keeping the asparagus vibrant and just tender.
- Gently mash some of the cooked potatoes against the pot's sides with a fork or masher to thicken the chowder.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in heavy cream or coconut milk and fresh dill. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or a salad.

Notes
This chowder can be made ahead and stored for up to 4 days in the fridge. It tastes even better the next day as flavors meld overnight.
