Asparagus Soup Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook the Asparagus

   Add the chopped asparagus to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Add Broth

   Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the asparagus is completely tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If using a stand blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before transferring it in batches.

5. 5

   Finish the Soup

   Stir in the crème fraîche, preserved Meyer lemon, and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Heat through before serving.
