Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
¼ cup minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Separate asparagus tips and stalk pieces, and set asparagus tips aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
