Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- In a medium-sized pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent and starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the asparagus pieces to the pot and stir well with the sautéed onions.
- Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the asparagus starts to become tender.
- Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and 1 cup of milk.
- Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Do not let it boil, as this can scald the milk.
- Add 1 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tsp of white pepper into the pot. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Allow the soup to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is fully tender. Stir occasionally.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Blend until smooth and return the soup to the pot.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. You may add more white pepper, salt, or garlic powder to your preference.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. You can garnish with a drizzle of cream, a sprinkle of paprika, or some freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, blend the soup thoroughly and strain it if necessary.
- Use fresh asparagus for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- Adjust the amount of white pepper and garlic powder according to your taste preference.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute cream for the milk.
- Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
