White Asparagus Soup

Print Recipe

A creamy and indulgent white asparagus soup that captures the essence of spring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g White Asparagus
  • 1 Onion, finely diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 50 g Butter
  • 750 ml Vegetable Broth
  • 200 ml Cream
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • Salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 1 Pinch of Nutmeg
  • Fresh Herbs for Garnishing (e.g., parsley or chervil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Asparagus: Trim the ends of the white asparagus, peel gently with a vegetable peeler from just below the tip down to the base.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Add the Asparagus: Chop the peeled asparagus into 2-inch pieces and add them to the saucepan. Stir and sauté for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Create the Base: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed ingredients, mix well to form a roux and gradually whisk in the vegetable broth.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it bubble for about 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
  6. Blend the Soup: Blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches until creamy and smooth.
  7. Finish with Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the cream, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  8. Serve Up: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Serve hot alongside crusty bread or a fresh green salad. For an elevated experience, pair with a crisp white wine.
