Instructions

1. 1. In a large saucepan, sauté the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

2. 2. Add the chopped asparagus and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the asparagus is very tender.

3. 3. Using an immersion blender (or carefully transfer the soup to a blender), blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

4. 4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5. Serve the Asparagus Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of black pepper, and a few fresh asparagus spears.

Notes

For a thicker soup, use less broth. For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or milk for the heavy cream. Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
