Silky Cream of Asparagus Soup image

Simmering the tender tips in milk and adding them to the final soup adds something special and makes the soup heartier than most cream soups. A family favorite; even my children that won't eat asparagus ask me to make this recipe.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Cream of Asparagus Soup image

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Asparagus     Simmer     Boil

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped shallots (about 6 large)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh
lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large (4-quart) saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and thyme; cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the flour; cook until incorporated, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
  • Add the asparagus and 6 cups water; season generously with salt. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer, until the asparagus is bright green and just tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender until very smooth. To prevent splattering, fill the blender only halfway, and allow heat to escape: Remove the cap from the hole in the lid, and cover the lid with a dish towel. (To freeze, see note, below.) If serving right away, stir in the cream and lemon juice.
  • Freezing the Soup
  • Omit the cream and lemon juice. Cool to room temperature before dividing among airtight containers (leaving 1 inch of space at top). Freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator; reheat over low heat. Stir in the cream and lemon juice before serving.
