Delicious! I made this for friends this summer, and it was a hit. I cooked the asparagus and used the leftover stalks. I did add some asparagus tips because the occasion called for it. I can assure you that nothing was left, and if I made it again, the same would happen, which makes me proud and happy. I highly recommend it. It can be eaten hot or cold, though I prefer it cold. However, it's up to personal taste.

Serves 4 servings

  2. 1onion
  3. 1potato
  4. 110 mlheavy cream
  5. Extra virgin olive oil
  6. Salt and black pepper

Cooking Instructions

50 minutes
  1. 1

    Start by peeling the asparagus with a vegetable peeler. Don't be afraid to peel off a lot; you'll appreciate it later.

  2. 2

    Break each asparagus with your hands and set aside the tougher lower parts and any very short tips.

  3. 3

    Dice the onion and put it in a pot with oil. Season with salt and pepper and let it cook.

  4. 4

    When it starts to turn golden, add the lower asparagus stalks, adjust the salt, stir a couple of times, and let them cook for a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Peel the potato, cut it into chunks, and add it. Stir a couple of times, adjust the salt, and let it cook for about five more minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Cover with water, add the short tips, and let it simmer until the potatoes are soft.

  7. 7

    Cook the remaining asparagus tips in a separate pot with salt and a tablespoon of sugar to remove the bitterness. Let them cook for about 10 minutes.

  8. 8

    Once the potatoes are soft, remove the pot from the heat and blend the mixture. Add the cream, adjust the salt, and blend until smooth.

  9. 9

    If desired, strain the soup to remove any asparagus fibers.

  10. 10

    Once the tips are cooked, place them in ice water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.

  11. 11

    Pour the soup into serving bowls and add some asparagus tips as a garnish. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil. Serve it cold or at room temperature, as you prefer. You can also accompany it with some croutons.

Me encanta la cocina y cocinar, las recetas mejores son las más sencillas y las más tradicionales, debemos cocinar y publicar para que no se pierdan, tenemos esa obligación, posiblemente las vamos variando poco a poco pero es normal, la evolución es imparable, hace muchos años el marisco solo lo comían las clases media y baja, y en cambio los pollos los comía la clase alta, todo cambia, gracias a dios tenemos productos que desconocíamos hasta hace poco, hoy podemos consumir artículos fuera de temporada, tenemos un abanico más amplio para cocinar, quién ama la cocina debe preservar la herencia de nuestros ancestros, eso es amar la cocina
