Ingredients
- 2 bunches of asparagus
- 1/4 cup sliced shallots or onion
- 2 Tablespoons butter ghee or olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons of flour
- 2-3 cans chicken or vegetable broth (reserve one can to thin soup if necessary)
- kosher salt and pepper I like to use white pepper for this soups
Instructions
- Wash and trim off tough bottoms of asparagus stalks and discard. Slice remaining asparagus into 1/2" pieces. Reserve asparagus tips (top 1/2") and set aside.
- Melt butter over a medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add shallots and chopped asparagus and saute until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add flour and continue cooking and stirring for another couple of minutes.
- Slowly stir in 2 cans of broth and continue cooking until asparagus is tender, and flour is incorporated, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- While soup is cooking, blanch the asparagus tips to be used as a garnish. To blanch, bring a small pot of water to a boil.. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Blanch tips for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and plunge into ice water.
- Puree soup in batches in a blender or using an immersion blender.
- Return soup to pot. At this point you can decide if how thick or thin you would like it, adding more broth if needed. You can also add cream for a more decadent version.
- Check for seasoning. Makes about 4-6 cups.
