Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) asparagus
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Parmesan cheese, croutons, chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives)
- Special Garnishes: Drizzle of balsamic glaze, toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- Prep the Asparagus: Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and chop it into 1-inch pieces. Reserve a handful to use for garnish later.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Add the Veggies: Toss in the diced potatoes and the chopped asparagus into the pot. Give everything a good stir and let it cook for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and asparagus are tender.
- Blend it Up: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Creamy Finish: Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through for another 5 minutes and adjust seasoning.
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, add the reserved asparagus pieces, and sprinkle with your favorite garnishes.
