Asparagus Soup
Inspired by crème d’asperges, a classic French recipe, this Asparagus Soup is silky-smooth, flavorful and utterly delicious. It is made, too, with just a few ingredients but uses Parmesan cheese instead of cream. This low-work yet high-payoff recipe turns a bunch of asparagus, a few pats of butter, onions, garlic, chicken broth, and Parmesan into a luxurious dish. It makes a comforting starter for six, or main course for four.
This recipe is ridiculously simple to make. To start, melt the butter in a large pot and add the onions and garlic. Sauté the vegetables, stirring often, until soft and translucent. While the onions cook, chop the asparagus into small pieces. Reserve the asparagus tips for garnish and add the rest into the pot along with the chicken broth, salt and black pepper. Simmer until the asparagus is tender. Then purée the soup until very smooth. Reheat the soup, then stir in the lemon juice and cheese. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with the blanched asparagus tips, freshly grated Parmesan, fresh thyme leaves and a grind of black pepper. Enjoy!
