Categories     Soup

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil, (divided)
1 medium onion, (diced)
3 garlic cloves, (minced)
2 pounds fresh asparagus spears, (trimmed and cut into 1-2 inch pieces (cut all but about 8 spears))
1 cup diced russet potato ((about 1/2 pound or 1/2 of a medium potato))
1/2 cup raw cashews
4-6 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Coconut milk or another non-dairy milk, (for garnish (optional))
Fresh chives, (for serving)

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a large pot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent.
  • Add the garlic and all but 8 spears of asparagus. Continue to sauté for about 5 minutes more, until the asparagus begins to soften.
  • Stir in 4 cups of broth, potato, and cashews.
  • Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato and asparagus are very soft.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor bowl in batches and blend until smooth.
  • Return the mixture to the pot. Thin with up to 2 cups of additional broth if desired. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reheat if needed.
  • Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with the remaining teaspoon of oil and place it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the reserved asparagus spears and cook just until they become bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with non-dairy milk, sprinkle with chives, and arrange a few asparagus spears on top of each bowl. Serve.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 onion, chopped, (about 1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 cups chicken stock
1 pint sour cream, room temperature
2 teaspoons Hungarian hot paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus and saute another 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until asparagus is very tender. *Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan, stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls. Dust with paprika and serve.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions.

Time 50m

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces, trimmings and 20 tips reserved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Serve hot or chilled, topped with asparagus tips and a drizzle of oil.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Creamy Asparagus and Cauliflower Soup image

This delicious bowl of soup, despite being dairy-free, looks and feels pretty creamy. We have cauliflower to thank for that. The soup looks like a classic cream of asparagus, and your eyes will fool your palate to a certain extent. In addition to giving it a nice color, the bumpy superfood cauliflower provides a smoother texture to the soup than the less-starchy asparagus could achieve alone.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Cauliflower

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped
2 tablespoons nasturtium petals, or more to taste
2 tablespoons diced asparagus tips, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir chicken broth, cauliflower, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into garlic. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir 2 pounds asparagus into cauliflower mixture and increase heat to high. Cook until asparagus is tender but still bright green, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Blend soup with an immersion blender until smooth; season with salt and black pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with flower petals and diced asparagus tips.

VEGAN CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP

If you can't find fresh asparagus, broccoli works well in this recipe too. Cashew cream stands in for the dairy and makes a rich, delicious dish. From Chef Tal Ronnen's The Conscious Cook.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

sea salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large bunch asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 quarts vegetable stock (or faux chicken stock)
1 bay leaf
1 cup thick cashew cream, plus more for garnish (Cashew Cream(Regular and Thick))
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups fresh Baby Spinach
baby greens (to garnish, or use chopped chives, or chopped or slivered cooked beets)

Steps:

  • Place a large stockpot over medium heat. Sprinkle the bottom with a pinch of sea salt and heat for 1 minute. Add the oil and heat for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it smoke. This will creat a nonstick effect.
  • Add the asparagus, celery, and onion and saute for 6-10 minutes, just until celery is soft. Add the stock and bay leaf, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender. Cover the lid with a towel(the hot liquid may spout out of the blender), blend on high. Add the spinach to the last batch and continue blending until smooth. Pour the soup into a large bowl and stir to incorporate the spinach batch.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with baby greens(or use chives or beets) and drops of Cashew Cream. Enjoy!

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SOUP



Cream of Asparagus and Mushroom Soup image

I was on a work trip in Oklahoma City several years ago and had a delicious bowl of cream of asparagus soup at a cute cafe, and I spent a year trying to recreate my own version of this heart-warming soup. With the collaboration of my family's ideas, I have come up with a version of soup that I serve for our formal holiday meals as a starter course.

Provided by Kristy

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
¼ cup butter
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1 potato, peeled and diced
1 pound fresh asparagus, tips set aside and stalks chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
¾ cup half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble bacon when cool; set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
  • Melt butter with drippings in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook and stir celery and onion in the saucepan until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Whisk flour into the mixture and cook for 1 minute.
  • Whisk in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add potato and chopped asparagus stalks, reserving the asparagus tips for later. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Cook and stir mushrooms and asparagus tips in the same skillet used for bacon until mushrooms give up their liquid, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper, if needed.
  • Stir mushrooms, asparagus tips, and half-and-half cream to pureed soup. Cook until thoroughly heated.
  • Garnish soup with crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Asparagus: Fresh asparagus has a more vibrant flavor and texture compared to frozen or canned asparagus. If using frozen asparagus, thaw it completely before using.
  • Roast the Asparagus: Roasting the asparagus before making the soup enhances its flavor and adds a smoky depth. Roasting also brings out the natural sweetness of the asparagus.
  • Use Vegetable Broth: Vegetable broth adds a savory and flavorful base to the soup. You can use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
  • Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Overcooked asparagus can become mushy and lose its鮮脆. Cook the asparagus just until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a High-Powered Blender: A high-powered blender will ensure a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Cream of asparagus soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with vitamins and minerals, and it is also a good source of fiber. This vegan version of the soup is made with roasted asparagus, vegetable broth, and cashews, and it is just as creamy and flavorful as the traditional version. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious soup to make, give this vegan cream of asparagus soup a try!
