This Cream of Asparagus Soup is super easy to make and tastes as if you would bite into a fresh asparagus stalk, thanks to the “asparagus broth” I use to blend it. Only three ingredients to bring you to asparagus heaven!

Cream of Asparagus Soup

  • Author: livitygardens
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bunches of asparagus, trimmed (trimmings kept for asparagus broth)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet with a lid, place the asparagus and fill the bottom of the skillet with about 1/2 inch water. Bring to a boil, cover and let the asparagus “steam” until tender, about 7-10 minutes. While the asparagus is cooking, place the trimmings into a small pot, fill with about 2 cups water and boil for 10 minutes. Strain and keep the cooking liquid.

In a high speed blender, place the asparagus, 1 cup of the cooking liquid, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend until a silky smooth consistency is achieved. Carefully add the coconut milk and blend for a minute more. Remove to a pot, taste and adjust seasonings. You may serve garnished with fresh asparagus spears, sautéed mushrooms (as pictured), or crispy shallots.

Crème d’asperges

  • Author: livitygardens
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 portions 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bottes d’asperges, parées (conserver les queues pour le bouillon)
  • 1/2 tasse de lait de coconut
  • Sel de mer et poivre, au goût

Instructions

Dans une grande poêle avec un couvercle, placer les asperges. Verser environ 1/2 pouce d’eau dans le fond de la poêle. Porter à ébullition, couvrir et laisser les asperges cuire pendant environ de 7 à 10 minutes. Pendant que les asperges cuisent, placer les queues d’asperge dans une petite casserole et remplir avec 2 tasses d’eau. Bouillir pendant 10 minutes, égoutter et conserver le liquide de cuisson.

Dans un mélangeur, placer les asperges, 1 tasse de liquide de cuisson des queues, 1/4 c. à thé de sel de mer, et 1/4 c. à thé de poivre. Mélanger à haute vitesse jusqu’à l’obtention d’un mélange onctueux. Ajouter le lait de coconut et mélanger à nouveau pendant une minute. Placer dans un chaudron, goûter et assaisonner au goût. Servir garnie de champignons sautés (comme sur la photo), des pointes d’asperge fraîches, ou des échalotes françaises croustillantes.
