Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
• 1 cup cubed potatoes (2 medium)
• 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
• 4 cups low-fat vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon tahini sesame seed paste

Instructions

• Put medium-size pot on medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the onion and potato and stir with a wooden spoon. Place the lid on askew and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown and stick to the pot 5 to 10 minutes.
• Break the asparagus into pieces and add to the onions and potatoes, along with the vegetable stock.
• Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the stove, uncover and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Blend the soup mixture, carefully in batches until smooth. (Alternatively, blend with an immersion blender right in the pot.)
• Return the mixture to the pot. Stir in the tahini and cook over low heat, stirring often, until heated through.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper if necessary.
