Recipe of Creamy Asparagus Soup

Ingredients: 1 bunch of fresh asparagus spears 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced 2 tbsps of butter 4 cups of vegetable broth ½ cup of heavy cream salt and pepper to taste fresh lemon juice (optional, for garnish) fresh chives or parsley (optional, for garnish) Instructions: Begin by preparing the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends and discard them. Chop the tender asparagus tips into 2-inch pieces. In your SENSARTE Nonstick Sauce Pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped asparagus to the pan and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender. Use an immersion blender directly in the pan to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Return the creamy soup to the saucepan. Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice into the soup for a zesty kick. Ladle the creamy asparagus soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
