This asparagus soup recipe is just a simple purée of asparagus with a bit of cream.

Directions

Gather the ingredients. Cut the asparagus into 1- inch pieces and set aside.
In a soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the stock and asparagus, and bring it to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the asparagus is tender but still green.
Remove from heat and purée using a stick, or regular blender.
Pour back into the pot. Add the cream and cook on low heated through.
Season with salt and black pepper.
