WHITE ASPARAGUS SOUP



White Asparagus Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 1/2 to 2 pounds white asparagus, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
Chervil, for garnish
2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 1/2 to 2 pounds white asparagus, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
Chervil, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until it begins to soften and melt, but not until brown since you want the soup to maintain a light, creamy shade. Add the peeled white asparagus (it is an extremely fibrous vegetable so make sure to peel it before cooking), the broth and the wine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let the soup cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully add the soup, in batches, to a blender and puree. Return the soup to the pot over low heat. Add the half-and-half and season with salt and white pepper, to taste. Warm the soup until heated through. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with chervil before serving.

CHEF JOHN'S ASPARAGUS SOUFFLE



Chef John's Asparagus Souffle image

Contrary to popular belief, souffles are not very difficult, as long as you respect the laws of physics. I hope you give this recipe a try, and also experiment with other vegetables. Broccoli, artichokes, leeks, spinach, or any other edible plant you can puree should work with the same basic procedure.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup cold milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ clove garlic, minced
4 eggs, separated
½ cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water until bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer asparagus to ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk milk into butter-flour mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Place milk mixture, garlic, and asparagus in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour asparagus mixture into a large bowl; stir in egg yolks and Cheddar cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
  • Generously butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins
  • Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak
  • Stir half of egg whites into asparagus cheese mixture until just combined. Gently fold remaining egg whites into mixture.
  • Fill prepared ramekins about 3/4 full and place on a baking sheet; bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes

Categories     Soup/Stew     Milk/Cream     Blender     Chicken     Egg     Appetizer     Asparagus     Simmer     Boil     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds (1 kg.) white asparagus
1 quart (1 L.) chicken stock (or store-bought), or chicken broth (or store-bought or made from a bouillon cube)
A bit of sugar (1 cube if you have cubes)
5 cup (30 g.) cornstarch
1 egg yolk
1 cup (25 cl.) heavy cream
Salt

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the asparagus. Cut 2 inches (5 cm.) off the tips and save them for another use. Do not peel the stalks but cut them into 15-inch (3-cm.) pieces.
  • 2. Bring the stock or broth to a boil in a soup pot. When it bubbles, add the asparagus pieces and sugar. Turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • 3. Blend and pass through a fine strainer (a chinois if possible), pressing on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Put the soup back in the pot, bring back to a boil, and boil about 30 minutes more.
  • 4. Thoroughly mix the cornstarch in a bowl with 1 tablespoon cold water. Beat the yolk and cream together in a bowl large enough to hold all the soup.
  • 5. When the soup in the pot has been reduced by about half, whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly, and then gently pour everything into the bowl with the egg-cream mixture, whisking as you pour.
  • 6. Pour the contents of the bowl back into the soup pot and heat very gently in order to thicken. Stir with a spatula and turn off the heat at the first sign of boiling. Blend. Season with salt as necessary.

ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP



Asparagus, Leek, and Potato Soup image

This was just a creation I came up with when my asparagus was looking a little old. At first, I thought I was going to add some sort of cream base, but the soup ended up not needing it. The vegetables just taste lovely as they are. Even my husband who hates soup and asparagus LOVED this! It is also a great way to use almost-expired vegetables in your veggie drawer!
