Cream of Asparagus Soup
Makes eight 6-ounce servings
¾ cup Italian parsley leaves, washed and dried
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
²⁄
³
cup chopped onion or leek
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups fat free, low-sodium chicken or
vegetable stock or broth
1 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1½ cups cold water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
Place the parsley in the blender jar. Cover and pulse on Chop until
coarsely chopped, about 4 to 5 times. Remove and reserve.
Melt the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion
and cook until soft but not brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add
asparagus, stock, and all but 1 tablespoon of the reserved parsley.
Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to
low and simmer, partially covered, until asparagus is tender, about
10 to 12 minutes.
Pour the soup through a strainer, reserving the solids and liquids.
Allow to cool 5 minutes. Place the solids in the blender jar with
1 cup of the cooking liquid; return the remaining liquid to the
saucepan. Cover and blend on Purée until creamy and smooth,
about 30 to 40 seconds. Return puréed vegetable mixture to the
saucepan and stir to combine. Stir in half-and-half. Stir cornstarch
into water, and add to soup. Add salt and pepper. Cook, stirring
often, over medium heat, until soup thickens, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Do not let boil. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve in
warmed bowls garnished with the remaining parsley.
