Mediterranean Asparagus Soup Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat the oil in a pan;
  • Add Pancetta and sauté for 1 minute or so;
  • Add shallots and sauté for further 2 minutes;
  • Add Asparagus stalks and sauté for a further minute or so;
  • Add chicken stock, bring to boil, lower heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for some 5 minutes or so or until the asparagus is just tender;
  • While stalk broth simmers, in a separate small pan, bring water to boil, add asparagus tips and parboil for 1 to 1½ minutes, ensuring they still have a crunch to them;
  • Drain and set aside;
  • Remove stalk mixture from the heat and “blitz” with blender until smooth;
  • Return to heat and, if using, add dollop of cream to taste, stirring until well combined;
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for a further minute or so;
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with asparagus tips and serve with fresh crusty bread.
