Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 onion, chopped, (about 1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 cups chicken stock
1 pint sour cream, room temperature
2 teaspoons Hungarian hot paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus and saute another 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until asparagus is very tender. *Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan, stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls. Dust with paprika and serve.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little thinner.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm going to try making this soup with different types of vegetables. I think it would be great with broccoli or cauliflower.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this soup. The creaminess of the soup balanced out the bitterness of the asparagus perfectly.

This soup was so creamy and flavorful. I loved the addition of the asparagus and the leeks. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.
