How to Make Asparagus Bisque

  1. Thaw 1 pound of asparagus spears if frozen.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 small chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the saucepan.
  4. Add the asparagus spears (cut into 1-inch pieces if desired) to the saucepan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
  6. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth. (Optional: leave chunky).
  7. Return the soup to the saucepan and heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Pour into bowls and garnish with fresh chives or a swirl of cream (optional). Serve hot or chill for later.
