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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 russet potato, peeled and chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
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:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add shallot and ginger and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potato and 4 cups water. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and continue to simmer until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Reserve one cup liquid from pot and transfer the rest of the mixture to a blender; let cool slightly.
  • Add cilantro and spinach to blender and purée until smooth, adding reserved broth as needed for desired consistency. Return soup to pot and stir in remaining 1/4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm or chilled, with a drizzle of oil, more pepper, and lemon wedges on the side.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP

Provided by Sunny Anderson

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.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK



Cream of Asparagus Soup with Coconut Milk image

This plant-based version of asparagus soup gets its creaminess from coconut milk and is complemented by fresh notes of lemongrass. If you haven't used lemongrass before, it is often found now in the produce section of many grocery stores and you can actually cut it into 2- or 3-inch pieces and freeze it for later use. I like to use a plant-based "no-chicken" stock for this because it is almost clear in color, keeping the soup bright green, but any vegetable stock will do.

Provided by Carla Hall

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
One 2-inch piece fresh lemongrass
4 cups vegetarian no-chicken broth, vegetable stock or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves
3/4 cup coconut milk, lite or full-fat
1/2 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
Lemon zest, for garnish
8 ounces thin asparagus, trimmed and roughly chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup roughly chopped carrots (1 medium carrot, peeled)
1/2 cup roughly chopped radishes (about 4 small radishes)
1/4 cup roughly chopped red onion (1/2 medium red onion)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (2 scallions, green and white parts)
1 serrano chile, seeded and finely diced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the soup: Place a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the asparagus and cook for 1 minute.
  • Pound the lemongrass with a meat mallet or rolling pin until well bruised (to release the flavor). Stir in the broth and lemongrass and simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the lemongrass and stir in the parsley.
  • Turn off the heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender. Stir in the coconut milk and peas and cook over medium heat until warmed through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh lemon zest and the Asparagus Salsa if desired just before serving.
  • For the asparagus salsa: Place the asparagus, carrots, radishes and red onions in a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are finely diced but not pureed.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add the dill, scallions, serrano chile, lemon zest and juice. Mix together well, season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop if time allows. The salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups.

NOT SO CREAMY CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Not So Creamy Cream Of Asparagus Soup image

I cannot believe I found this today! I cut it out of our local paper in March of 1988, made it once, we moved, and I never saw it again till this morning. It was in the basement in an old folder. The reason it appealed to me is that the potatoes act as a thickener rather than a lot of cream. And IF I recall, it was very tasty.. There are also 3 others using the same principle, but I never got to try them.(until now!) Cream of Potato, Cream of Mushroom, and Cream of Tomato.
