ASPARAGUS LEMON SOUP



ASPARAGUS LEMON SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh asparagus, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

  • Combine asparagus, celery and chicken broth in a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and cook 10 minutes. Put in food processor, blender, or use stick blender until smooth. Stir in lemon peel, lemon and salt and pepper. Whisk in cream. Heat, but do not boil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal asparagus: The fresher the asparagus, the better the soup will taste. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even fish broth.
  • Add some acidity: The lemon juice in this recipe adds a nice acidity that brightens up the soup. You can also add a splash of white wine or vinegar.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A few fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese can really elevate the soup.

Conclusion:

Asparagus lemon soup is a light and refreshing soup that is perfect for spring or summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, creamy or brothy, this recipe is a great place to start. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy soup, give asparagus lemon soup a try!
