SUNNY'S GRILLED ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH CHILE-CHEESE CIABATTA TOAST
Steps:
- For the soup: Preheat a grill for direct and indirect cooking or oven to 400 degrees F. If using a grill, set a wire rack directly on the grill grate.
- Brush the asparagus and scallions all over with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place over the direct heat of the grill. Cook, turning a few times, until limber and partially charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a cutting board.
- Make the toast: In a small bowl mix the jam and sambal. Spread on the cut side of the rolls. Divide and pile the cheese on top of the jam on each roll and place over the indirect heat of the grill (directly on the grates or on a baking sheet). Cook, covered, until the cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI AND MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions, stir until softened, not browned. Add asparagus pieces, pinch of salt and pepper, cook until pieces are bright green, add chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Purée soup in batches in a Vita-Mix until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids. Return soup to a clean saucepan, add heavy cream and stir. Bring soup to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Add lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Cut 6 pieces of baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lightly rub with olive oil on both sides of baguette, place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, midway through cooking time flip baguette slices. Pull out of the oven, allow to cool before generously spreading with goat cheese. If soup has reached desired consistency, turn off heat, cover and set aside. Prepare mushrooms by heating truffle oil in a sauté pan, add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. To serve, place once goat cheese crostini in center of a bowl, repeat with remaining three. Top crostinis with mushrooms and gently laddle soup around crostini, creating an island in the soup. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, dry, or have brown spots.
- Wash the asparagus thoroughly. Rinse the spears under cold water and then pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
- Serve the soup immediately. Asparagus cheese soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Asparagus cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its creamy texture and sharp cheddar cheese flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give asparagus cheese soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
