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.

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!

ASPARAGUS POTATO SOUP



Asparagus Potato Soup image

I was looking for a new way to eat asparagus and found this recipe in The Amish Cook at Home. I'm amazed at how simple yet delicious many of their recipes are (they look like you really worked hard). The potato thickens the soup, and it's a light color like a cream sauce. I left the skins on my potatoes and used probably a cup of onion, but otherwise I followed the recipe as listed. Make sure you whisk the milk and flour together (I added the flour slowly to the milk) or you'll end up with flour clumps. The asparagus stays nice and crisp. A variation suggested by the author is to sprinkle crumbled bacon on top as a garnish (now wouldn't that be heavenly).

CREAMY GINGER-ASPARAGUS SOUP



Creamy Ginger-Asparagus Soup image

Creamy is front and center in the recipe title and it is certainly earned, but this silky vegan soup takes an alternative route from the usual dairy-based add-ins to get there. The secret ingredients that create the creamy texture are probably already in your pantry: starchy russet potatoes and heart-healthy olive oil. Aromatics like cilantro, shallot, and ginger are blended in to punch up the flavor; and while you won't be able to taste it, baby spinach gives the soup its vibrant green color.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 russet potato, peeled and chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed, stalks chopped (3 cups)
1 cup packed cilantro leaves (from about 1 large bunch)
2 cups packed baby spinach
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add shallot and ginger and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potato and 4 cups water. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and continue to simmer until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Reserve one cup liquid from pot and transfer the rest of the mixture to a blender; let cool slightly.
  • Add cilantro and spinach to blender and purée until smooth, adding reserved broth as needed for desired consistency. Return soup to pot and stir in remaining 1/4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm or chilled, with a drizzle of oil, more pepper, and lemon wedges on the side.
