Description

When asparagus is fresh and in season, that’s the perfect time to make this healthy and flavorful soup!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 bunches asparagus (~2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegan butter*
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • juice from one lemon

Instructions

  1. Cut the woody ends from your asparagus.
  2. Put the ends you cut, along with the vegetable stock, into a large pot.  Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and allow to simmer.
  3. Cut the rest of your asparagus into 1 inch pieces.  You can reserve a few of the attractive ends for garnish, if desired.
  4. Heat the oil in a separate pot over medium low to medium-low heat.  Add the cut asparagus, cover, and allow to cook for about 10 minutes.  Increase the heat to medium to medium-high and add 1/4 cup wine.  Allow to cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the wine cooks off, about 5-7 minutes.  Add the remaining 1/4 cup of wine and cook another 5-7 minutes, until the wine cooks off.
  5. Remove the woody ends from the stock and discard. Transfer the stock to the pot with the asparagus.  Add the salt and cayenne, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer about 10 more minutes, until the asparagus is nice and tender.
  6. Transfer the soup, in batches, to a blender and blend until smooth.  Once the soup is blended and back in the pot, add the juice from your lemon.  Enjoy!
