CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP
Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus and saute another 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until asparagus is very tender. *Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan, stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls. Dust with paprika and serve.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

"I love asparagus -- I grew up eating white asparagus in Germany. My parents would usually grill the stalks or make a soup similar to this one," says Sunny.

- In a large heavy bottom pot, saute onion and fennel in 2 T oil over medium high heat, for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn heat to medium and continue cooking until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and saute for a couple more minutes, until garlic becomes fragrant. Add water or stock, salt and pepper, and sliced potatoes, and bring to a boil. If making this vegan, add 1/3 cup raw cashews to simmer along with potatoes.
- Add asparagus, turn heat up and return to a boil, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender yet vibrant green. Don’t over cook or you will loose the lovely color. Remove from heat and let cool a bit.
- In batches (see warning above) blend soup until creamy and very very smooth, adding in the herbs. The herbs will give it this glorious color. Blend really well, so there are no specs of herbs but rather, let them tint the soup and make it very green.
