Extra Easy Healthy Cream of Asparagus Soup image

I am quickly becoming addicted to this easy to throw together soup. The flavor of the asparagus is carefully balanced so it doesn't take over. The potatoes add body and a creamy texture, so no real cream is necessary! We grow everything (but the sour cream) right here on the ranch so it is super economical- but still inexpensive if you need to buy the ingredients!

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb asparagus spear, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cups chicken broth (I use fresh but canned will work)
2 teaspoons thyme (freshly minced)
1 dash hot sauce
salt and pepper
sour cream, & chives to top each bowl (optional)

Steps:

  • Throw everything except the sour cream and chives into a sauce pot.
  • Cover with water if necessary and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes until the asparagus and potatoes are fork tender.
  • Ladle the mixture into your blender- I do it in several batches to be safe.
  • Reheat in the microwave as needed and top with sour cream and chives or whatever is in your pantry!
