CREAMY ASPARAGUS AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Creamy Asparagus and Cauliflower Soup image

This delicious bowl of soup, despite being dairy-free, looks and feels pretty creamy. We have cauliflower to thank for that. The soup looks like a classic cream of asparagus, and your eyes will fool your palate to a certain extent. In addition to giving it a nice color, the bumpy superfood cauliflower provides a smoother texture to the soup than the less-starchy asparagus could achieve alone.

Provided by Leslie in Texas

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter (3/4 stick)
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups rich chicken broth, heated to a simmer (preferably homemade)
1/2 teaspoon crumbled bay leaf
1/4 cup sherry wine
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch dry mustard
fresh ground pepper
1 lb small asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch slices
10 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low, add flour and cook, stirring frequently, until frothy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Blend in chicken stock and bay leaf; reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add Sherry,hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire, dry mustard, and freshly ground pepper to taste and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and continue cooking until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in cheese and parsley and cook until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • Ladle soup into heated bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus: Look for asparagus stalks that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Choose a sharp cheddar cheese that is well-aged.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Cheddar asparagus soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It can be served hot or cold, and it is a great way to use up leftover asparagus.
