Ingredients

  • 1 pcs green asparagus bunch
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pcs onion
  • 2 pcs garlic clove
  • 3 pcs small potatoes
  • 1 ¼ l vegetable broth
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions

PREPARATION

  1. 1

    Rinse the asparagus and snap off the tough, woody ends (they will break at the right spot). Cut off the tips (about 3 - 4 cm) and cut the stalks into 2 cm pieces.

  2. 2

    In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Towards the end, add the chopped garlic.

  3. 3

    Add the peeled and diced potatoes and, stirring occasionally, fry for about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the hot broth and bring to a boil. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook covered for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the asparagus stalks (excluding the tips) and cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

  6. 6

    Blend the soup in a standing blender until smooth.

  7. 7

    Pour it back into the pot, add the asparagus tips (if they are thick, you can cut them lengthwise into 2 - 4 pieces) and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes over very low heat. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Serve with a crusty baguette, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of chopped chives to enhance the fresh flavor.
