NOT SO CREAMY CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Not So Creamy Cream Of Asparagus Soup image

I cannot believe I found this today! I cut it out of our local paper in March of 1988, made it once, we moved, and I never saw it again till this morning. It was in the basement in an old folder. The reason it appealed to me is that the potatoes act as a thickener rather than a lot of cream. And IF I recall, it was very tasty.. There are also 3 others using the same principle, but I never got to try them.(until now!) Cream of Potato, Cream of Mushroom, and Cream of Tomato.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SOUP



Cream of Asparagus and Mushroom Soup image

I was on a work trip in Oklahoma City several years ago and had a delicious bowl of cream of asparagus soup at a cute cafe, and I spent a year trying to recreate my own version of this heart-warming soup. With the collaboration of my family's ideas, I have come up with a version of soup that I serve for our formal holiday meals as a starter course.

Provided by Kristy

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
¼ cup butter
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1 potato, peeled and diced
1 pound fresh asparagus, tips set aside and stalks chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
¾ cup half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble bacon when cool; set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
  • Melt butter with drippings in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook and stir celery and onion in the saucepan until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Whisk flour into the mixture and cook for 1 minute.
  • Whisk in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add potato and chopped asparagus stalks, reserving the asparagus tips for later. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Cook and stir mushrooms and asparagus tips in the same skillet used for bacon until mushrooms give up their liquid, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper, if needed.
  • Stir mushrooms, asparagus tips, and half-and-half cream to pureed soup. Cook until thoroughly heated.
  • Garnish soup with crumbled bacon.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK



Cream of Asparagus Soup with Coconut Milk image

This plant-based version of asparagus soup gets its creaminess from coconut milk and is complemented by fresh notes of lemongrass. If you haven't used lemongrass before, it is often found now in the produce section of many grocery stores and you can actually cut it into 2- or 3-inch pieces and freeze it for later use. I like to use a plant-based "no-chicken" stock for this because it is almost clear in color, keeping the soup bright green, but any vegetable stock will do.

1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (2 scallions, green and white parts)
1 serrano chile, seeded and finely diced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the soup: Place a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the asparagus and cook for 1 minute.
  • Pound the lemongrass with a meat mallet or rolling pin until well bruised (to release the flavor). Stir in the broth and lemongrass and simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the lemongrass and stir in the parsley.
  • Turn off the heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender. Stir in the coconut milk and peas and cook over medium heat until warmed through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh lemon zest and the Asparagus Salsa if desired just before serving.
  • For the asparagus salsa: Place the asparagus, carrots, radishes and red onions in a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are finely diced but not pureed.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add the dill, scallions, serrano chile, lemon zest and juice. Mix together well, season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop if time allows. The salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups.

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.
