Creamy Asparagus Soup from Tasty Kitchen
Ingredients
•2 pounds Fresh Asparagus, Tough Ends Removed, And Cut Into 1-inch Spears
•1 whole Yellow Onion, Chopped
•1 cup Chicken Broth
•2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
•4 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
•2 teaspoons Salt
•⅛ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
•2-½ cups Chicken Broth
•1 cup Heavy Cream
•1 cup Plain Or Greek Yogurt (I Used Greek)
•½ Tablespoons Lemon Juice
Preparation Instructions
Place asparagus and onion in a medium pot with 1 cup broth. Bring the broth to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and let simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Then remove from heat and (carefully) place mixture in an electric blender and puree until smooth. You might want to let it cool a bit before doing this.
In the same pot that was used for simmering the asparagus, melt the butter. Add flour, salt, and pepper; stir frequently for 1-2 minutes. Do not allow the flour to burn.
Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups broth and increase the heat. Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Add the vegetable puree and cream into the pot. Whisk yogurt into the mixture, followed by lemon juice. Stir until heated through, then ladle into bowls.
Enjoy! Sharon
