Recipe :: Asparagus End Soup - Stylish Spoon

Step 1

Melt butter in heavy 4-quart pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic after butter begins to foam. Sweat onions and garlic over medium-low heat until onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes (keep heat low enough to prevent garlic from browning).

Step 2

Add asparagus ends and cook until soft. Add broth and bring to boil, then reduce to simmer over low heat for 45 minutes. Remove from heat, add spinach and cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree until creamy, or puree in blender in small batches. Reheat soup over medium high heat until warm. Add salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with asparagus tips, if using.
