This creamy asparagus soup is a great way to start a springtime dinner.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 leek, thinly sliced, or 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper
- fresh chopped parsley for garnish, optional
Preparation:
In a medium saucepan, cook leek or onions in butter over medium-low heat until tender. Add flour and stir until well incorporated. Add chicken broth, chopped asparagus, and parsley. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until asparagus is tender.
