Creamy Asparagus Soup

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

2. 2

   Add the asparagus and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until tender.

   Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the flour over the asparagus and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

   Tip: This will help thicken the soup.

4. 4

   Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

   Tip: Bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to low and add the dairy cream. Stir until the cream is fully incorporated and the soup is heated through.

   Tip: Be careful not to boil the soup.

6. 6

   Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

   Tip: Adjust the seasoning as needed.

7. 7

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or allow it to cool and puree it in a blender.

   Tip: Be careful when blending hot liquids.

8. 8

   Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional asparagus if desired.

   Tip: Enjoy!
