Fresh Asparagus Soup

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 20:00:19 -0500

I haven't tried this yet, but it came to my inbox today and I wanted to share it. It looks like a creamy and delicious soup, and I didn't even have to modify much to make it dairy-free. I love the additions of yogurt, lemon, and parmesan cheese! It's from Nanook at Allrecipes.com. -- posted by Kree

Lazy Pantry Asparagus Soup

Tue, 06 Apr 2004 20:00:27 -0400

I recently had a version of this soup at a lunch restaurant. I usually am not a huge fan of canned asparagus, but in those months when fresh asparagus is either unavailable fresh or just too costly, this might come in handy. You may also prefer to use leftover cooked asparagus instead, if you happen to have some. Adapted from a version found on Worldwide Gourmet. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Asparagus & Corn Soup (cheat's Version)

Sat, 01 May 2004 20:00:16 -0400

I'm a bit embarrassed about this recipe because I'm NOT a fan of the style of cooking which 'assembles' pre-packaged products. However, sometimes, it's cold outside, you're tired, the cupboard is bare, the local store does not stock much more than canned goods and they would laugh in your face if you asked for a bunch of fresh asparagus! So, on such a day and under such conditions, I created this soup. And, whaddya know? It was so darn good I'm gonna share it! -- posted by Kookaburra

Sup Mang Tay Cua (Vietnamese Asparagus Crab Soup)

Tue, 13 Sep 2005 15:56:09 -0400

The French introduced asparagus to the Vietnamese, who promptly incorporated this classic vegetable into their cuisine. The Vietnamese word for asparagus is "Western bamboo," due to its resemblance to bamboo shoots. This is a nice, light soup that my whole family likes. I can't always get my hands on white asparagus (it's so expensive) but I've use green with no problems. Posted for World Zaar Tour 05. -- posted by Amis

Asparagus and Almond Soup

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 12:53:50 -0400

An asparagus and almond soup, made with only three main ingredients, which can be served chilled in the summer. Recipes really don't come much simpler than this, and with such recipes it is even more essential than usual to use only the freshest and best quality ingredients you can find. I have adapted this recipe from one I found on an English website, and I am posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Springin' Slammin' Fresh Cream O Asparagus Soup from the Farm

Fri, 09 Mar 2007 14:38:37 -0500

If you look very closely, you will see the tops of the asparagus just starting to poke their heads right up through the sandy ground. For my whole life, as long as I can remember, we have had asparagus on the farm. Such a simple vegetable, such a thoroughly tasty vegetable. Sometimes, children don't really like it, sometimes they do. My children didn't care for this vegetable as they were growing up. It might be because their Grandfather gave them the "chore" of hand picking the weeds out of the asparagus patch. But now that they are grown and have families of their own they can bring friends by and family and say, "I used to weed that garden, and we had the best asparagus on our country road." Well time has moved along, and we still have the asparagus patch. And does it make the best soup around? Well, yes indeedy ...just ask Bryan and Mike. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm

For the measurements, you can translate "2 lbs" of asparagus to "2 of those bundles you get at the grocery store." And for the cauliflower, just use the whole head, however much that gives you. -- posted by tendollarwine

30-Minute Pea and Asparagus Soup

From the Reader's Digest 30-Minute Cookbook. I chose to try making this recipe because of the tantalizing photo in the book, and it was every bit as good as the picture promised -- but the BEST thing about it is, there's no pre-prep prep! Anything that gets chopped or measured can be done during cooking time. If you have a hand blender, this is easy-peasy stuff. Before preparing your other ingredients, it's best to start the stock heating first, so it boils as soon as possible. That's what makes this such a quick and easy recipe. -- posted by ladydae

Asparagus Soup With Crab Meat

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:00:33 -0500

This is a lovely spring soup with a beautiful color and sheen and a perfectly balanced flavor. Neither the asparagus nor the crab meat overpower each other. Note that the authors of the "Silver Palate Cookbook" say the best way to puree asparagus is with a food mill which gets out all the fibrous tissue. Nevertheless, a blender or food processor will work if you strain the soup afterward. This is a luxurious menu choice for a luncheon or a dinner appetizer. Consider it for Easter, too. The recipe was originally posted on the TOH website both by Cathy and by Janie. It was taken from a cookbook called "The Soup Bible." -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Nickey's Chicken N Asparagus Soup

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:18:22 -0400

A very light, simple chicken soup. Time does not include time to bring stock to boil ... might add another 5 minutes? Hehehe, I know I shouldn't write this here because you might not want to try it! Here's my friend's reaction even though I warned him that it was mildly flavored and easy on the stomach...and that he might want to add the very ingredients that he did! "About the soup...hehehe...I boiled the chicken in water for the broth, then added the chicken stock, shredded chx and asparagus. Well, the flavor just wasn't there and so I added a little salt then shoyu...something is missing...Aha, a little bit of dashi, the one with no MSG. Suddenly it changed the whole flavor! Auwe! Jam-up! And SO I decided to add sesame oil. Now this soup has gone through a metamorphosis...I call this soup: Oriental flavored Chicken Asparagus Soup. Guess I'll be bringing the soup to work for lunch." -- posted by marisk

The potato thickens the soup, and it's a light color like a cream sauce. I left the skins on my potatoes and used probably a cup of onion, but otherwise I followed the recipe as listed. Make sure you whisk the milk and flour together (I added the flour slowly to the milk) or you'll end up with flour clumps. The asparagus stays nice and crisp. A variation suggested by the author is to sprinkle crumbled bacon on top as a garnish (now wouldn't that be heavenly). -- posted by AmyZoe

Cream of Asparagus Soup

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:30:07 -0400

Asparagus and spring-time go hand in hand....and its beautiful green color is the essence of freshness. This recipe is low in fat and calories and big in flavor. (I used left over rice, but potatoes can be substituted.) Points:2 -- posted by Cucina Casalingo

Asparagus Soup

Sun, 10 May 2009 19:33:09 -0400

A great beginning to any meal. Great for lunch or dinner. This is very good and easy to make. This recipe is easily halved. The first time I made this, I used what I had on hand and made a couple substitutions. I used scallions for the leeks, used a red potato, decided not to garnish with the tips and tossed them in, no sour cream or chives. I pureed with a hand blender. It still was outstanding! Enjoy!

Asparagus and Pea Soup (With a Kick)

Fri, 22 May 2009 12:08:39 -0400

Something I tried out with what I had in my fridge. The version I made ended up quite spicy but it was all because of the Thai chilis...if you don't add those should be much milder. Also, note that depending on the asparagus you use, there may be some "stringy" bits. You can minimize this by chopping more finely. Also you don't have to save the tips but they look pretty and give a great crunch. -- posted by Zag-geek

Asparagus, Crab & Tarragon Bisque Shanachie

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:21:54 -0400

This was a demonstration recipe at Charlotte Anne Albertson's Cooking School (Wynnewood, PA), for "Awesome Soups with Brian Duffy" (Jan 24, 2006). Brian Duffy (http://www.chefduff.com) hosted the Food Network shows "Date Plate" and "Hot Trends 2005" and is executive chef at Shanachie, an Irish restaurant in Ambler, PA. Shanachie specializes in soups ... and this is one of their most frequently requested seafood soups, especially in the spring, when fresh asparagus is available. Crab claw meat is less expensive and more flavorful than lump crab meat and so is the ingredient of choice. Recipe will make 3/4 gallon, approximately 12 8 oz servings. -- posted by Gandalf The White

Grilled Asparagus and Sweet Potato Miso Soup

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:26:58 -0500

Although you can use American sweet potato, it is best with Japanese sweet potato if you can find it. Besides asparagus and sweet potato, you can certainly add slices of kabocha and green beans as well. This is a very basic miso soup and you can add other ingredients as well. This makes small 4 servings ie what I call Japanese serving size, less than 1 cup per person. -- posted by Rinshinomori

Fresh Asparagus, Onion, Potato Soup

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 13:30:13 -0500

Easy and quick with the help of a food processor. This couldn't be easier and a great soup to make in a hurry. Serve as a starter for dinner or a main course with a side salad or sandwich. I make this often when my grocery store puts asparagus on sale or when they have it at the Farmers Market. It is easy on the budget and just comforting. You can top with some diced sauteed bacon, a toasted baguette or even some grated Monterey Jack cheese, which is creamy when it melts. -- posted by SarasotaCook
