Chilled Asparagus Soup Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Snap off the asparagus tips and set the stalks aside.
  • Melt the butter in a deep pan with a cover.
  • Add the asparagus tips, onion, leeks, celery and potato.
  • Cover lightly and cook over the very lowest heat until vegetables are soft, 20 minutes or more.
  • Meanwhile, place the chicken stock in a large saucepan with the reserved asparagus stalks, cut into large pieces.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer, covered tightly, for about 30 minutes.
  • Discard the stalks and set the resulting stock to one side.
  • In a food processor, puree the softened vegetables and add to the asparagus stock.
  • Season with the lemon juice, salt, white pepper and paprika, if desired.
  • Allow to cool and refrigerate.
  • Stir in the single cream and serve, garnished with a dollop of whipped cream, or creme fraiche and a sprinkling of paprika, if desired
