Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 pounds asparagus trimmed and cut into 1” pieces
- 3 cups chicken stock
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Instant Pot using the Sauté function. Add the olive oil, shallot, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Next add the asparagus and chicken stock. Stir to combine.
- Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook - Manual for 5 minutes.
- Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then turn the valve to the venting position to release any additional pressure.
- Use an immersion blender (or transfer the soup to a high speed blender) and blend until smooth.
- Add the cream, butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy warm, garnished with roasted asparagus, freshly cracked black pepper, parmesan cheese, or additional cream.
- Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
