a hearty warm soup
Ingredients You'll Need
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth, divided
½ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 cup milk
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Combine asparagus, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and onion in a large saucepan; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until asparagus is tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender; puree until smooth and set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Increase heat to medium; add remaining chicken broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Stir in pureed asparagus and milk.
Place sour cream in a small bowl and stir in a ladleful of hot soup until blended; pour into the soup and stir in lemon juice. Warm soup through to serving temperature, without boiling. Serve immediately.
