This soup can be served both warm and chilled. Serve with store-bought croutons or follow the recipe below for a delicious homemade option.

Ingredients

Creamy Asparagus Soup

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 pounds fresh or frozen asparagus (see note)

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Glicks Flour

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • low-fat milk to cover (about 3 to 4 cups)

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • garnish with chopped chives

Parmesan Croutons

  • 10 to 12 slices melba toast (approximately; could use round or rectangular crackers, as pictured here)

  • olive oil

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Prepare the Soup

1.

In a large pot on medium-low heat, melt butter and add onion. Sauté until transparent (not brown) and then add asparagus. Let cook until soft, stirring occasionally (about five minutes).

2.

Add flour and lemon juice and mix. Slowly stir in enough milk to fully cover the asparagus. Add salt and pepper, cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.

3.

Blend until smooth using an immersion blender. (You might want to pour the soup through a sieve to catch any larger pieces, but I don’t find it necessary.)

4.

Add heavy cream, and adjust seasonings. Garnish with chives and croutons and serve.

Notes:

If reheating, you may want to add about half a cup of water to thin slightly.

I always recommend using fresh vegetables as opposed to the frozen version. In order to clean asparagus properly one must remove the tops and the small “triangles” from along the stem. I find it easier to just peel the whole stalk, and then cut off the tops and a bit from the bottom.

Prepare the Croutons

1.

For the croutons, preheat toaster oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Brush melba toasts with olive oil.

3.

Place about half a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese onto each piece of melba toast and bake for about three to four minutes. Serve on top of soup.
