Asparagus Soup with Parmesan Sprinkle Recipe

Asparagus Soup with Parmesan Sprinkle Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 cups good-quality vegetable broth
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Heat oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add onion, garlic, and asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not brown.
  2. Add broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until asparagus is just tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor, or use a hand-held immersion blender.
  4. Return to the pan and gently reheat, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve in individual soup bowls with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
