Frequently Asked Questions

→ Do I need to peel green asparagus?
No, with green asparagus it's enough to cut off the woody ends. Only very thick stalks might need peeling in the lower third.
→ Can I prepare the soup ahead of time?
Yes, the soup keeps refrigerated for 2-3 days. Sauté the asparagus tips just before serving.
→ How does the soup become especially creamy?
Purée well and use enough crème fraîche. For a lighter version, you can use light sour cream.
→ Can I freeze this soup?
Yes, freeze without the sautéed asparagus tips. After thawing, you may want to blend it again.
→ What can I use to refine the soup?
Fresh herbs like parsley or dill work well. Croutons or pine nuts are also delicious as toppings.

Ingredients

→ For the soup base

01 600g green asparagus (about 1.3 lbs)
02 1 medium onion, finely diced
03 20g butter (about 1½ tablespoons)
04 500ml vegetable broth (about 2 cups)
05 100g crème fraîche or light crème fraîche
06 Sea salt to taste
07 Freshly ground black pepper

→ For the garnish

08 1 tablespoon butter for sautéing the asparagus tips

Instructions

Step 01

Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends (or trim with a knife). Cut the spears into 2-inch (5cm) pieces. Set aside half of the asparagus tips for the garnish.

Step 02

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the asparagus pieces (except the reserved tips) and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 03

Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the asparagus is completely tender. Stir in the crème fraîche, then use an immersion blender to purée until silky smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 04

While the soup is simmering, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the reserved asparagus tips and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt. Serve the soup hot with the sautéed asparagus tips floating on top.

Notes

  1. This soup freezes beautifully for up to 3 months - simply prepare through the puréeing step, cool completely, and freeze in airtight containers.
  2. Using light crème fraîche (crème légère) will reduce the calorie content while maintaining the creamy texture.
