Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 1 small potato peeled and diced
  • 800 ml vegetable or chicken stock
  • 500 g asparagus woody ends trimmed, chopped
  • 100 ml double cream
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook onion 5–6 minutes.
  2. Add potato and stock, simmer 12–15 minutes.
  3. Add asparagus, cook 4–5 minutes until bright green.
  4. Blend immediately until smooth.
  5. Stir in cream, warm gently without boiling.
  6. Season, serve immediately.

Notes

Add asparagus near the end and blend immediately for the brightest colour.
Trim woody ends thoroughly to avoid a stringy texture.
Freezes reasonably well for up to 2 months; best frozen before the cream is added.
Asparagus in season gives the best flavour and value.
