Start by heating a large soup pot over medium heat with olive oil. The key here is to let the onions, garlic, leeks, and fennel soften, allowing their natural sweetness to come through.Once the aromatics are tender, add the asparagus stalks (save the tips for garnish!) and cook them for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.Pour in the vegetable broth and spices, bringing everything to a gentle simmer for 25 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.Blend everything until smooth and creamy using an immersion or high-speed blender. If using a traditional blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid pressure build-up.Finish the soup with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, black pepper, and salt.
