Ingredients for Asparagus And Almond Soup

  • Asparagus Spears
  • Vegetable Stock
  • Ground Almonds
  • Salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper

How to Make Asparagus And Almond Soup

  1. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add the asparagus spears and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  2. Remove the asparagus from the broth and set aside to cool slightly. Reserve the broth.
  3. Once the asparagus is cool enough to handle, roughly chop it.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine the blanched asparagus, almonds, and about 1 cup of the reserved broth. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust broth as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Stir in a pinch of salt and white pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer the soup to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with extra almond slivers and a drizzle of olive oil (optional) before serving.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
