Pioneer Woman Asparagus Soup Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh asparagus
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

How To Make Pioneer Woman Asparagus Soup

1. Prepare Asparagus: Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
2. Cook Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
3. Add Flour: Sprinkle flour over the onion and garlic, and stir for 2 minutes to cook off the flour taste.
4. Add Broth and Asparagus: Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly. Add the asparagus pieces. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until asparagus is very tender.
5. Blend Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and carefully blend in batches using a regular blender.
6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and heat through. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Garnish with lemon zest and serve warm.
