Ingredients
  

  • 500 g white asparagus
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 50 g butter
  • 750 ml vegetable broth
  • 200 ml cream
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • Salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg
  • Fresh herbs for garnishing, e.g., parsley or chervil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Asparagus: Peel the asparagus and remove the woody ends. Cut the asparagus stalks into approximately 1 cm pieces, setting the tips aside. 
  • Cook Asparagus: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the asparagus pieces (excluding the tips) and sauté briefly. Then sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stir well and deglaze with the vegetable broth. 
  • Simmer Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat. Let it simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is soft. 
  • Add Asparagus Tips: Add the asparagus tips to the soup and cook for another 5 minutes until they are also soft. 
  • Blend Soup: Remove the soup from the heat and blend it with an immersion blender until it has a smooth consistency. Then stir in the cream and season the soup with salt, white pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. 
  • Reheat: Briefly reheat the soup, but do not let it boil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. 
  • Serve: Fill the soup into pre-warmed plates or bowls and garnish with fresh herbs.
