Pan-Roasted Asparagus Soup image

This simple soup can be ready in under an hour and takes full advantage of the flavor of asparagus by pan-roasting it before puréeing. Fresh tarragon takes it up a notch.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus (if only thick spears are available, peel them first)
2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
10 fresh tarragon leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
4 cups chicken or other stock
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Break off bottom part of each asparagus stalk, and discard. Coarsely chop the rest of stalks, leaving 12 or 16 of the flower ends whole. Put butter or oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. A minute later, add asparagus and tarragon, raise heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Remove whole flower ends; set aside.
  • Add stock and some salt and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until asparagus is very tender, about 10 minutes. Cool at least a few minutes.
  • Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée. Return to pan, and, over medium-low heat, reheat gently. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning. Put 3 or 4 asparagus flower ends in each of 4 bowls; ladle in soup, and serve.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose thick and fresh asparagus spears for a more robust flavor and texture.
  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the woody ends.
  • Roast the asparagus in a hot oven to caramelize and bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth or stock for a flavorful soup base.
  • Add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the soup for extra flavor.
  • Serve the asparagus soup with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted asparagus soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and can be easily customized to your liking. Try this recipe today and enjoy a bowl of this creamy and flavorful soup!
