Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the asparagus. Start by washing the asparagus, then remove the tough and fibrous ends. Cut the stalks into pieces about 2 to 3 cm long.
Step 2
Sauté the aromatics. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become translucent and lightly browned.
Step 3
Cook the asparagus. Add the asparagus pieces to the saucepan. Sauté for a few minutes with the onion and garlic, stirring regularly to coat them well.
Step 4
Add broth. Pour vegetable (or chicken) broth over the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer covered for 15 to 20 minutes, until asparagus are tender.
Step 5
Blend the soup. Remove the saucepan from heat. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until smooth. You can also use a blender by processing in small batches.
Step 6
Add cream and season. Return the soup to heat if needed. Add heavy cream, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. For a tangy note, add lemon juice.
Step 7
Warm gently. Warm the soup over low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally without boiling.
Step 8
Serve. Serve hot in bowls. For a refined presentation, garnish each serving with a few tips of blanched or steamed asparagus.
