Creamy Asparagus Soup
This asparagus soup tastes rich, but it's made without heavy cream - just veg, broth, and a hint of silky-perfect mashed Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 small onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup heavy cream or to taste
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed and washed
- 2 ¼ cups chicken broth (not low in sodium)
- parmesan cheese for serving optional
Instructions
First, cut the asparagus into ½ "pieces.
Then, cook the onion and garlic in butter over medium heat until tender. Add the asparagus and cook for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the broth, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until the asparagus is softened.
Using a hand blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream and lemon juice.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Happy Cooking Time.
