Discover the Hot Potato Leek Soup
The Hot Potato Leek Soup at Sonsie is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can be transformed into something extraordinary. This dish is a warm, comforting bowl of goodness that highlights the fresh, vibrant flavors of asparagus. The asparagus puree provides a fresh, slightly sweet flavor that is both light and satisfying, while the potato and leek form the base of the soup, adding a creamy, hearty texture that complements the asparagus perfectly. A drizzle of lemon oil adds a bright, citrusy note that enhances the overall flavor and adds a touch of elegance, and finely chopped chives are sprinkled on top, providing a fresh, slightly tangy finish. This soup combines the comforting, familiar flavors of potato and leek with the fresh, vibrant taste of asparagus. The addition of lemon oil and chives elevates the dish, making it a perfect starter. It's a warm, welcoming dish that feels both indulgent and healthy.
Avocado Toast at Any Time of the Day
Avocado toast has become a modern classic, and Sonsie’s version stands out. By adding grilled asparagus and a farm egg, we took this popular dish to new heights. The grilled asparagus adds a smoky, slightly charred flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado, mashed to a smooth, rich consistency, providing a perfect base for the other ingredients. A perfectly cooked farm egg sits atop the toast, adding a rich, runny yolk that brings everything together, while a hint of truffle aroma adds a luxurious, earthy note that elevates the entire dish. Sonsie’s Avocado Toast is unique because it transforms a simple dish into a gourmet experience. The combination of grilled asparagus, a farm egg, and truffle aroma creates a complex, multi-layered, satisfying, and sophisticated flavor profile. It’s a perfect example of how fresh, high-quality ingredients can create something extraordinary.
Sonsie’s Crispy Tempura Asparagus
Tempura Asparagus is a delightful dish showcasing this vegetable's versatility. At Sonsie, the asparagus is lightly battered and fried to crispy perfection, creating a light and indulgent dish. The tempura batter contrasts textures, while the shiitake mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor that complements the crispy asparagus. Thin, crispy sheets of nori add a hint of umami and a satisfying crunch, and a warm, flavorful dipping sauce ties the dish together, adding a savory element that enhances the overall taste. This dish takes a simple ingredient and transforms it into something extraordinary. Combining crispy tempura batter, earthy shiitake mushrooms, and savory nori crisps creates a complex, satisfying flavor profile.
