1/2 onion, chopped, (about 1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Cream of Asparagus Soup image

No need to toss out the tough ends of asparagus-use them to make a quick stock for an extra shot of flavor in this cream of asparaagus soup.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces, trimmings and 20 tips reserved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 large shallot, sliced crosswise, plus 1/2 large shallot
1/2 large clove garlic, finely chopped, plus 1/2 large clove garlic
1 medium Yukon gold or Russet potato (about 8 ounces), peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; season with 2 teaspoons salt. Add asparagus tips and blanch until bright green and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath with a slotted spoon; reserve for topping. Add trimmings, 1/2 shallot and 1/2 clove garlic to the same pot and return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer the asparagus stock 20 to 25 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • In another saucepan, heat olive oil over medium. Add sliced shallot and chopped garlic and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in potato and enough of the asparagus stock to cover the vegetables (about 1 cup), and simmer until the potato is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain remaining asparagus stock directly into saucepan with the potatoes. Add remaining asparagus and cook until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Puree in a blender until completely smooth; remove 1 cup and reserve. Slowly stir in cream, and season to taste with salt and pepper; thin with reserved liquid as needed. Serve hot or chilled, topped with asparagus tips and a drizzle of oil.

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.

Provided by Carla Hall

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
One 2-inch piece fresh lemongrass
4 cups vegetarian no-chicken broth, vegetable stock or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves
3/4 cup coconut milk, lite or full-fat
1/2 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
Lemon zest, for garnish
8 ounces thin asparagus, trimmed and roughly chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup roughly chopped carrots (1 medium carrot, peeled)
1/2 cup roughly chopped radishes (about 4 small radishes)
1/4 cup roughly chopped red onion (1/2 medium red onion)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
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.

EXTRA EASY HEALTHY CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Extra Easy Healthy Cream of Asparagus Soup image

I am quickly becoming addicted to this easy to throw together soup. The flavor of the asparagus is carefully balanced so it doesn't take over. The potatoes add body and a creamy texture, so no real cream is necessary! We grow everything (but the sour cream) right here on the ranch so it is super economical- but still inexpensive if you need to buy the ingredients!

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb asparagus spear, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cups chicken broth (I use fresh but canned will work)
2 teaspoons thyme (freshly minced)
1 dash hot sauce
salt and pepper
sour cream, & chives to top each bowl (optional)

Steps:

  • Throw everything except the sour cream and chives into a sauce pot.
  • Cover with water if necessary and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes until the asparagus and potatoes are fork tender.
  • Ladle the mixture into your blender- I do it in several batches to be safe.
  • Reheat in the microwave as needed and top with sour cream and chives or whatever is in your pantry!
