Method

  • Submerge your cedar plank in water anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the thickness and your timing.
  • Preheat the grill over a medium high heat.
  • Trim asparagus and lay in aluminum foil.
  • Drizzle over balsamic vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil; wrapping the foil to cover.
  • Place the asparagus package on the cedar plank, reduce the flame and close the lid of the bbq.
  • Grill for about 10 15 minutes, checking intermittently until tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large stockpot to sweat the leeks and garlic until soft and translucent but not browned; about 3 5 minutes.
  • Add the diced potato and cover with the stock.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are softened.
  • Remove the best spear tips from the asparagus and reserve for garnish.
  • Roughly chop the remaining smoky asparagus, add to the simmering soup.
  • Continue for another 3 5 minutes to cook through to merge flavours.
  • Transfer soup to a food processor or using a immersion blender, combine until smooth.
  • Season to taste with salt.
  • Stir in lemon juice, if using.
  • Top each serving with reserved asparagus tips and drizzle over extra virgin olive, basil or leek oil.
