Ingredients for Asparagus And Cheese Potato Soup

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Cooking Oil
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Asparagus Spears
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • Red Potatoes
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

How to Make Asparagus And Cheese Potato Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the onion and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
  3. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup milk, 1 cup chopped asparagus (about 1 bunch), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 2 cups cubed potatoes (about 2 medium).
  4. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup sour cream until melted and smooth.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh asparagus tips (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
