Asparagus Soup

Get out your blender, we’re making a soup! Green asparagus to be precise. I still feel like I need to learn more soup recipe so I looked some up and here’s my version of asparagus soup.

What we’ll need:

  • about 1 lbs green asparagus
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1 tbs corn starch

Rinse the asparagus and chop off the tips, save them for garnish. Chop up the onion roughly and then put it in a big pot together with the asparagus spears. Pour over about half a cup of the broth and let simmer/steam with lid on until all softened, about 10 minutes. Then pour the vegetable mix into a blender and mix into a purée.

In a big pot (use the one you simmered the asparagus and onions in) pour in the other cup and a half of broth, a table spoon of butter and a table spoon of corn starch. Stir until thickened and then add the vegetable purée, milk, salt and pepper.

Pour into small bowls and sprinkle the cut of spear tips onto the middle of the bowl for garnish.

    Stop taunting me ! Ok, now try this recipe with roasted asparagus (instead of simmering it) and add that good Hungarian paprika to taste. I will also help enlighten you to the wonder of the cordless immersion blender.

  • Ooo, I didn’t even think of roasting it! I will definitely try that next time. I prefer roasted over simmered vegetables. As for the blender I do enjoy the big bulky “I can pulverise any ingredient” type of blenders ;)
