Categories     appetizer

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. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

CREAMY GINGER-ASPARAGUS SOUP



Creamy Ginger-Asparagus Soup image

Creamy is front and center in the recipe title and it is certainly earned, but this silky vegan soup takes an alternative route from the usual dairy-based add-ins to get there. The secret ingredients that create the creamy texture are probably already in your pantry: starchy russet potatoes and heart-healthy olive oil. Aromatics like cilantro, shallot, and ginger are blended in to punch up the flavor; and while you won't be able to taste it, baby spinach gives the soup its vibrant green color.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

1 1/2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed, stalks chopped (3 cups)
1 cup packed cilantro leaves (from about 1 large bunch)
2 cups packed baby spinach
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:
