Description
This refreshing asparagus soup flavored with garlic and green onions is quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
•
4 green onions, coarsely chopped
•
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and coarsely chopped
•
2 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
2
Cook and stir garlic and green onions in saucepan until garlic is just golden, about 3 minutes.
3
Cook and stir asparagus with garlic and green onions until slightly softened, about 2 more minutes.
4
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool slightly.
5
Pour soup into blender, filling no more than halfway full. Cover with a lid. Carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth.
