This creamy asparagus soup makes the perfect lunch, dinner, or first course. It has a simple but delicious flavor and comes together in under an hour!
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 4 celery stalks finely chopped
  • 3 carrots finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3 cups asparagus chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp mint
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • Additional salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the onions, celery, and carrots and sauté until the vegetables soften and the onions are translucent.
  • Add the asparagus, salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes - the asparagus should turn a bright green.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. 
  • Transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. 
  • Add the lemon juice, mint, and parsley. Puree again until smooth.
  • Transfer the soup back to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Add the cream and season to taste. 
  • I like to serve this with a little additional cream on top and some asparagus tips.
