Asparagus Wild Rice Soup Recipe

Ingredients for Asparagus Wild Rice Soup

• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Vegetable Broth
• Heavy Cream
• Cooked Wild Rice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt And Pepper

How to Make Asparagus Wild Rice Soup

1. Chop 1/2 of the asparagus into 1/2 inch pieces. Roughly chop the onion.
2. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute for 5 minutes, until softened.
3. Add the chopped asparagus and saute for another 2 minutes.
4. Pour in the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
5. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth.
6. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the cooked wild rice, heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat through for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
7. Cut the remaining asparagus into bite-sized pieces and gently stir them into the soup during the last 2 minutes of heating. This will ensure they remain slightly crisp.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
