ASPARAGUS (OR BROCCOLI) AND FONTINA CHEESE SOUP
A delicious way to celebrate the new asparagus in spring, or broccoli in fall! Decadent, smooth, and satisfying - this soup freezes then reheats in the microwave *beautifully* - my favorite "brown-bag lunch" addition.

Steps:
- Melt butter & oil in heavy cooking pot, over med-high heat. Sauté onions and celery until tender (~4 min.). Add garlic and sauté ~30 seconds (don't scorch - gets bitter). Add flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute, to cook out raw flour taste. Add water, broth, and Knoor soup base (or substitute bouillon). Stir until smooth. Bring to a gentle boil. Boil for 2 minutes to set the thickening.
- Add diced potatoes, chopped asparagus (or broccoli), salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to med-LOW and simmer for ~25 minutes.
- Puree about ¾ of the soup in a blender in small batches. (Hot soup expands when blended, so fill blender only about 2/3 way full!). I place batches in an intermediary large Pyrex bowl to hold until returning to pot.
- Return blended soup to pot. Stir in half-and-half, soy, and cheeses. Simmer (do NOT BOIL) 5-10 more minutes - stirring often, then taste for seasonings (probably needs a bit more pepper, doubtful it needs more salt - cheese, soup base, and broth are already somewhat salted).

Steps:
- Cut tips from 12 asparagus 1 1/2 inches from top and halve tips lengthwise if thick. Reserve for garnish.
- Cut stalks and all remaining asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cook onion in 2 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add asparagus pieces and salt and pepper to taste, then cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add 5 cups broth and simmer, covered, until asparagus is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While soup simmers, cook reserved asparagus tips in boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain.
- Purée soup in batches in a blender until smooth, transferring to a bowl (use caution when blending hot liquids), and return to pan. Stir in crème fraîche, then add more broth to thin soup to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Bring soup to a boil and whisk in remaining tablespoon butter.
- Add lemon juice and garnish with asparagus tips.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: Fresh asparagus and broccoli will have a more vibrant color and better flavor. Look for asparagus that is firm and has tightly closed tips. Broccoli should be deep green in color and have tightly packed florets.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their color, flavor, and nutrients. Asparagus and broccoli should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese will give the soup a nice tangy flavor, while a milder cheese like Monterey Jack will give the soup a more creamy flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Asparagus broccoli cheese soup is best served hot. You can garnish the soup with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Asparagus broccoli cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
