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.

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.

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!

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 first-course servings (

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds medium asparagus (2 bunches), cut in half crosswise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium Spanish onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 parsley sprigs
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with salted ice water. Working in 2 batches, add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the asparagus to the bowl of ice water. Drain. Reserve 7 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid.
  • Thinly slice 18 of the asparagus tips on the diagonal and reserve for a garnishing the soup. Chop the remaining asparagus spears into small pieces.

  • Pour in the reserved asparagus cooking liquid and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the soup. Lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped asparagus and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the asparagus mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the asparagus soup. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Cream of Asparagus Soup image

Creamy, sumptuous Cream of Asparagus Soup. With its velvety texture and out-of-this-world flavor, it's the perfect soup for spring.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds green asparagus
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion (diced (about 3 cups))
2 cloves garlic (diced)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh)
6 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wash asparagus and cut the tips from 20 pieces, about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Boil the tips in two cups salted water (either in a small saucepan or in the microwave) for about two minutes until the tips just begin to get tender. Plunge tips in ice water to stop the cooking and set aside. These will be used for the garnish.
  • Chop the remaining asparagus into half-inch pieces. Discard the woody ends.
  • In a four-quart pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for about another minute.
  • Add the asparagus pieces and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  • Add the broth and simmer, covered, until the asparagus is very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Carefully puree the soup with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender. Use caution - it's hot! Return to the pot.
  • Add the heavy cream and return to a simmer.
  • Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and top each bowl with 3-4 asparagus tips.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus spears if you find them to be too fibrous.
  • Cook the asparagus until tender: You can cook the asparagus in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, or roasting. Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help you achieve 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 for longer.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream 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 also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its creamy texture and fresh asparagus flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this vegan cream of asparagus soup a try.
