Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add asparagus pieces to the pot, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until asparagus is tender.
- Remove the pot from heat, and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
- Return the pot to low heat, and stir in lemon juice. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a vegan version, use vegetable broth and replace heavy cream with coconut milk.
