Thanks to wifey, I'm making my homemade cream of asparagus soup tonight. I wanted to share the recipe with anyone who may enjoy it...
INGREDIENTS
2 cans (bunches) asparagus (if you get canned asparagus, drain the juice)
1 large onion, chopped
4 strips of bacon
1tsp. celery seeds
3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup cream
3 tbls. butter
PREPARATION
In a soup pot, add onion, celery seed, and butter, and cook until onion is soft. Place onion mixture in a food processor.
Cut up the bacon and fry in the pot (yes, the pot) until crispy. Remove the bacon and add to the food processor.
For the asparagus - if it's canned, cut stalks in half and add to the food processor. If fresh, steam the stalks, then cut in half and add to the processor.
Add 1/2 cup of the chicken broth to the mixture in the food processor, and mix until almost smooth.
Put the mixture in the soup pot, adding the cream and the remainder of the broth. Cook on low heat until ready to eat.
Wifey's making grilled cheese (or grilled tuna, she hasn't told me which, yet) sandwiches to go with the soup. Makes for a great (and healthy) dinner. More recipies to come... Enjoy!
