I made this the other night and still have leftovers even despite having a large bowl for lunch today. It reminded me of when my mum used to make asparagus soup for family dinners as a kid. Some of my fondest memories were watching her in the kitchen standing over the stove whipping up some of her favorite recipes.

Normally when I make asparagus soup, I used a dry mix from the store. But I thought I would go all out and make it from scratch.

Next time I make this, I’ll definitely cook the asparagus first and puree the soup base which should result in a delicious, thick and creamy soup.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of asparagus chopped into 1″ pieces precooked (boiled or roasted)
• 1 cup of spring onion diced
• 1 cup of heavy cream or milk
• 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/3 stick of butter or 1/3 cup
• 1/3 cup of flour
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• Spices: salt, black pepper, parsley

Preparation

• In a large pot melt the butter on medium heat. Add in the garlic and onions. Cook until onions are tender.
• Add in the flour and stir constantly until the flour is fully cooked. Add in the cream a little bit at a time (about 1/4 cup) whisk constantly.
• Add in the stock – or you can use water and a bouillon cube
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat.
• Add in the asparagus and spices. Stir well.
• Simmer for about 30 minutes.
• Pour the soup into a blender and mix until you have a nice creamy puree mixture.

And the soup is done! This recipe will serve up to four people or you will have leftovers for a couple of days if you’re single like me.

Serve on its own or with a grilled cheese sandwich. This is how I ate it today and it was delicious. I skipped the puree step this time and it was still delicious. I also added in mushrooms because I had a package I needed to use up – but most recipes just use asparagus.
