Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Onions: Peel and finely chop the onions.
- Garlic: Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Asparagus: Rinse the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Trim the woody ends and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they become translucent and lightly browned.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
- Add the cut asparagus to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The asparagus should turn bright green.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, making sure it covers all the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir to combine.
- After the asparagus has tenderized, remove the pot from heat.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches in a countertop blender, but be cautious with the hot liquid.
7. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Optionally, you can garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of black pepper, or a few roasted asparagus tips.
- Serve your Garlic Asparagus Soup immediately with crusty bread or a light salad on the side.
Tips:
- When selecting asparagus, choose stalks that are firm and bright green with closed tips.
- To enhance the flavor, consider roasting the garlic cloves before adding them to the soup.
- To make the soup creamier, you can add a splash of coconut milk or cream towards the end of the cooking process.
- Blending the soup in small batches will ensure a smoother consistency and help avoid spills.
- For added texture, try reserving a few asparagus tips to add back into the soup after blending.
With just a few simple steps, you can whip up a delicious garlic asparagus soup that's sure to impress. This recipe is not only easy to follow but also yields a nutrient-rich meal. Enjoy your homemade soup with a sprinkle of black pepper and a slice of crusty bread for the perfect finishing touch.
