How to Make Asparagus Brie Soup
- Wash and snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Carefully transfer half of the soup at a time to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth. Return the blended soup to the saucepan.
- Add 4 ounces of brie cheese, cut into small cubes, to the soup.
- Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the brie is melted and the soup is creamy and smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or a drizzle of cream (optional) before serving.
