Asparagus Soup

Preparation

1
Wash the green asparagus thoroughly. Snap off the tough, woody ends at the bottom of each stalk (they will naturally break where the tender part begins). Chop the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
2
Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add the chopped asparagus to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender when pierced with a fork.
7
Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it is completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender and blend until smooth (be cautious with hot liquids and vent the lid).
8
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
