Best Asparagus Soup Recipe
Equipment
- Large saucepan or soup pot
- Immersion blender or countertop blender
- Fine mesh sieve (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 cup asparagus chopped fresh or frozen
- 1 onion finely chopped
- ½ cup vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 cup soymilk or semi skimmed milk
- ½ cup plain yogurt or crème fraîche
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated (optional)
Instructions
- Place asparagus and onion in a saucepan with ½ cup vegetable stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until the vegetables are tender.
- Reserve a few asparagus tips for garnish. Place remaining vegetable mixture in a blender and purée until smooth.
- Melt butter in the pan that was used for simmering the asparagus and onions. Stir while sprinkling flour, salt, and pepper into the butter. Do not let the flour brown. Allow the mixture to cook only 2 minutes.
- Stir in remaining 1 cup vegetable stock and increase the heat. Continue stirring with a whisk until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Stir the vegetable purée and milk into the saucepan slowly. Whisk yogurt into the mixture, followed by lemon juice and stir until heated through, then ladle into bowls.
Notes
- If your asparagus is very fibrous, strain the soup through a fine sieve.
- Add cream only after blending to keep the color bright and fresh.
- Save a few asparagus tips to sauté and place on top for a restaurant‑style finish.
- A tiny pinch of nutmeg enhances the creaminess without becoming noticeable.
- If your soup tastes flat, it likely needs a touch more salt or acidity; a squeeze of lemon works.
