Method

Heat 1/2 cup broth in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium, add leek and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 6 minutes.

Add remaining broth and potatoes and bring to a boil.

Stir in asparagus and broccoli and return to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove pot from heat and set aside to let cool slightly.

Carefully transfer soup to a blender and purée in batches until smooth.

Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with chives and serve.
