Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, sautee chopped shallot and celery until just tender. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add broth, asparagus and rice. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes until everything is tender.
  3. While soup is cooking (or before if you prefer), make the chimichurri sauce. Mix the finely chopped herbs with the oil and vinegar. Salt to taste, then let sit for flavors to blend.
  4. Once the asparagus and rice in the soup are tender, puree soup in a blender or using an immersion blender.
  5. If using yogurt, mix a little warm soup in with the yogurt to temper it until well blended. Add back to the soup and stir or whisk to combine.
  6. Serve warm dribbled with chimichurri sauce.

Notes

  • I used a natural white rice that was tender in the 15 minute cooking time. If you go with a longer cooking brown rice, adjust the simmer time accordingly.
