FRESH ASPARAGUS, ONION, POTATO SOUP



Fresh Asparagus, Onion, Potato Soup image

Easy and quick with the help of a food processor. This couldn't be easier and a great soup to make in a hurry. Serve as a starter for dinner or a main course with a side salad or sandwich. I make this often when my grocery store puts asparagus on sale or when they have it at the Farmers Market. It is easy on the budget and just comforting. You can top with some diced sauteed bacon, a toasted baguette or even some grated Monterey Jack cheese, which is creamy when it melts.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4-8 Bowls of soup, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs fresh asparagus, the rest should be rough chopped (Reserve about 14 tips, cut about 1 1/2-inch long as a garnish to each bowl)
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans white potatoes (you can use fresh peeled potatoes, but this is my QUICK soup, so I take advantage of a canned potato)
3 cups vegetable broth (chicken broth will work just fine)
3 cups heavy cream, adjust accordingly (you can use anywhere from 1-3 cups, depending on how thick or thin, or creamy you enjoy your soup)
1/4 cup sherry wine
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt
asparagus tips (lightly blanched)
monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Asparagus -- First cut off about 14 tips - not to long. These will be lightly cooked in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just to lightly blanch or to soften them up. They are just a garnish. Rough chop the remaining asparagus. They are going in the food processor, so no need to chop them too fine.
  • Soup Base -- To the food processor, add the diced asparagus (not the reserved tips), the onion, garlic, potatoes and a little of the broth, just to allow it to puree. Continue pulsing until smooth or the consistency you like best.
  • Cook -- To a medium size soup pot, add 1/2 the butter and melt on medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook on medium to medium low and slowly cook the vegetables. They will take about 15 minutes until cooked through.
  • Sauce -- As the vegetables cook, add the remaining butter to a small measuring cup and melt in the microwave (just 10 seconds or so). Remove from the microwave and add the flour and sherry and stir well. Pour this mixture into the vegetables, along with the broth and mix to combine. Bring to medium heat until the soup begins to thicken. Slowly whisk in the cream. You can add as much cream as you like. Some make like a more creamy texture and other less. So start slow and add 1 cup cream and a time until it reaches the consistency you like. Check for salt and pepper seasoning, and add the dill. Cook another 5 minutes until heated through.
  • Asparagus Tips -- Wrap the tips in a damp paper towel and cook for 20-30 seconds in the microwave on medium high until they are slightly tender.
  • Serve -- Top each bowl of soup with a couple of the asparagus tips and a little of the monterey jack cheese. You can also add bacon bits or a toasted baguette, or even bagel chips. Anything you want.
  • Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO AND ONION SOUP



Sweet Potato and Onion Soup image

This simple recipe uses the sweet potato with its distinctive flavour and colour as the base for a delicious soup with a hint of orange and coriander. Taken from "What's Cooking : Potatoes" The recipe calls for the soup to be pureed, and the addition of yoghurt. I don't do this as we prefer chunky soups, so in fact, I stop at the end of Step 4! I squeezed fresh oranges for the orange juice.

ROASTED ONION, POTATO, AND CABBAGE SOUP



ROASTED ONION, POTATO, AND CABBAGE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound red or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4" dice (about 2½ cups)
1 pound yellow onions, peeled and chopped into 1/2" to 3/4" pieces (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed with the side of a knife
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Several grinds of fresh black pepper
1 pound green cabbage, chopped into 1/2" to 3/4" dice (about 6 cups)
Another 1/2 teaspoon salt
4 to 5 cups organic chicken stock, preferably homemade
1/2 cup organic whole milk (optional)
1/2 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and fresh black pepper to taste
Garnish suggestions:
Freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
Thin slices of Monterey Jack cheese
Snipped fresh chives (so easy to grow) or chopped scallions
Some finely chopped cabbage for a little crunch
A dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or creme fraiche
A dash or two (or three!) of Sriracha hot chili sauce (I love this stuff)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425°. Combine the potatoes, onions, and garlic in a large roasting pan. Add the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the cabbage and another 1/2 teaspoon salt to the roasting pan, toss to combine, and roast until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and place it over two burners on the stove. Stir in 2 cups of the chicken stock and cook over low heat for a few minutes, scraping up any dark and crispy roasted bits that are stuck to the pan. Transfer the contents of the roasting pan to a 3 or 4 quart pot. Stir in 2 more cups of chicken stock, plus the milk and/or Pecorino Romano if using. Use an immersion blender or counter top blender to carefully purée the soup, adding up to 1 more cup of chicken stock if it's thicker than you like. Cook over low heat until hot and check the seasonings (salt brings out the flavors, and you may need more if your stock isn't very salty). Serve, garnished as desired.

SIMPLE CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO SOUP



Simple Caramelized Onion Potato Soup image

Peel potatoes and dice into large chunks (this helps them cook faster) and chop celery. Add both into soup pot with the chicken broth. Simmer until veggies are tender and potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. While your veggies are simmering, in a separate pan, add the chopped onions along with butter. Cook them very low and slow, stirring frequently so they don't burn or brown, but develop a deep caramel color, for 15-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes or so, add the chopped garlic, and cook for the remaining few minutes. When your potatoes and celery are done, add the caramelized onions and garlic to the pot, and transfer to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Return blended soup to the pot, and add your milk or cream until the desired thickness and creaminess is achieved (this all depends on preference!) About 2 cups milk or 3/4 cup heavy cream is a good ballpark, but adjust based on preferences! Serve immediately, with parmesan cheese and chopped chives!

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 russet potatoes
8 cups chicken broth
1 cup celery, chopped
2 yellow onions
1 tablespoon butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon herbes de provence (dried thyme by itself will also work great.)
salt & pepper
milk or cream, to finish
fresh parmesan cheese, to finish
fresh chives, to garnish

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and dice into large chunks (this helps them cook faster) and chop celery.
  • Add both into soup pot with the chicken broth. Simmer until veggies are tender and potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • While your veggies are simmering, in a separate pan, add the chopped onions along with butter. Cook them very low and slow, stirring frequently so they don't burn or brown, but develop a deep caramel color, for 15-25 minutes.
  • In the last 5 minutes or so, add the chopped garlic, and cook for the remaining few minutes.
  • When your potatoes and celery are done, add the caramelized onions and garlic to the pot, and transfer to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Return blended soup to the pot.
  • Add milk or cream to finish, based on your preferences and desired thickness and creaminess.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan and chopped chives!

Tips for Making the Best Potato Onion Soup:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. Different types of potatoes have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. For example, you could use a combination of Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the onions. Onions should be cooked until they are softened and translucent, but not browned. Overcooked onions will give your soup a bitter flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.
  • Serve your soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for potato onion soup include croutons, cheese, and sour cream.
