Provided by MARBALET

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
  • To easily remove the woody ends of the asparagus, hold the stalk near the bottom and bend it until it snaps naturally. The woody end will snap off, leaving you with the tender part of the asparagus.
  • If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use chicken broth instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of salt you add to the soup, as chicken broth is typically more salty than vegetable broth.
  • To save time, you can use frozen shrimp in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them completely before adding them to the soup.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. Just be aware that the soup will be thinner and less creamy.
  • Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Asparagus soup with shrimp is a light and flavorful soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. The combination of asparagus, shrimp, and creamy broth is sure to please everyone at the table. This soup can be served as a starter or main course, and it is also a great option for a light lunch or dinner.
