Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 green onions, coarsely chopped
1 ½ pounds asparagus, trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook and stir garlic and green onions in saucepan until garlic is just golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Cook and stir asparagus with garlic and green onions until slightly softened, about 2 more minutes.
  • Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Pour soup into blender, filling no more than halfway full. Cover with a lid. Carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth.
  • Transfer soup back to saucepan and reheat. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
