Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
½ cup chopped onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 cup milk
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine asparagus, chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until asparagus is tender, about 12 minutes. Process the mixture in a blender to puree the vegetables. Set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining chicken broth, and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Stir in the asparagus puree and the milk.
  • Put the sour cream in a small bowl, and stir in a ladleful of the hot soup. Add the sour cream mixture and the lemon juice to the soup. Stir while heating the soup to serving temperature, but don't allow it to boil. Serve immediately.

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cream and butter. Also, I found that the soup was a bit too salty. I would probably use less salt next time.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The soup was flavorful and creamy. However, I found that it was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would prefer a recipe that is a bit quicker and easier to prepare.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more salt and pepper. Also, I found that the soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I would probably add more milk or broth next time.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit! The asparagus flavor really shines through and the cream and butter make it so rich and creamy. I like to add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra touch of flavor.
