Asparagus Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Asparagus

   Add the asparagus pieces to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Add the Broth

   Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the asparagus is tender.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls, swirl in crème fraîche, and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
