Print Recipe
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 cup chicken or veggie broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • freshly chopped chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden, 5 minutes. Add broth and simmer, covered, until asparagus is very tender but still green, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Using an immersion or regular blender, puree soup. If using a regular blender, be sure to stop and remove lid a few times to avoid overheating the soup. Return to pot, stir in cream, then warm over low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh chives.
