Instructions

Cut asparagus into ½" pieces.
In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion and garlic in butter until tender. Add asparagus and cook an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in broth, salt & pepper. Cover and let simmer 10-15 minutes or until asparagus is softened.
Using a hand blender, puree soup until smooth. Stir in cream and lemon juice.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Additional veggies can be added to stretch the soup further. Zucchini or celery are great options.
If using a regular blender to puree soup or hot liquids, do not seal the lid. The steam can build up and cause a dangerous mess.
If you'd prefer more texture, remove a handful of the asparagus before blending. Chop it and stir it back into the soup after blending.
To thicken, allow the soup to simmer uncovered or stir in some potato flakes.
