Cream of Asparagus soup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalks celery, chopped
pinch of garlic powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Wash and dry your vegetables. Peel the tough skin off the bottom of the asparagus.

Chop into 1 inch segments

Steam or boil till tender. Normally about 7-10 minutes.

In a 3 quart sauce pot, add 2 tablespoons butter, chopped onion, garlic powder and celery. Cook over medium heat till onions start to turn translucent (normally 7-8 minutes).

Add 3 tablespoon of flour into the pot. Stir around and cook to get rid of the “raw” flour taste . Cook about 2 minutes (medium/ low heat) stirring to prevent clumping or burning. Add chicken broth and milk at the same time, stir and bring to a boil. The flour mixture will start to thicken the broth.

Add onion/ broth mixture along with your steamed asparagus to a blender. Save a few of the asparagus tops for garnish. ONLY FILL THE BLENDER HALF WAY and do not put the cover on tight. Just cover with a towel and mix. Blend till smooth and creamy (about 1-1/2 minutes). Salt and pepper to taste, serve hot…. enjoy!
