Cream of Asparagus Soup Video Transcript
Hi, I’m Chef Ted in the Rada Cutlery kitchen. Today we’re going to make cream of asparagus soup.
What I like to do is cut the tips off, then I just cut the stock up into long pieces, just throw them into the pan. I leave the tips whole and throw them in so there are actually chunks of asparagus in the soup. Then I’m going to fine dice a sweet onion. Doesn’t have to be too perfect because it’s all going to go through a blender, anyway. I’m going to add a couple sticks of butter to this as well as season salt.
I’m going to melt the butter down and let the onions sweat. Sautee a bit so that the asparagus stock starts to soften. The asparagus and the onions are cooking down pretty good, so I am going to add a quart of milk into a blender. I’m going to put the asparagus and the onions and asparagus in the blender with the milk in it. Put the lid on the blender really good and tight. And pulse it.
I’ve got a pot with water in it. I’m going to put the stock pot right inside and make a double boiler out of it. That way I don’t have to worry about the milk and cream getting burnt. I put another stick of butter in the pan. A little bit more season salt. I’m going to put all the tips in there. I’m going to take a pint of heavy cream and also add that into the puree.
We’ve got the tips sautéing up nicely. I’m just going to add that into the stock put. Butter and all. You can’t go wrong with butter. It’s got a nice, creamy white color to it. You’ll want to keep tasting this. As it cooks it will change a little bit. I’m adding more season salt to it. I’m going to add a little bit of garlic powder. And a little bit of plain salt. Always make sure you have plenty of water in the bottom pan. Make sure the bottom of the pans don’t touch, otherwise it’s the same thing as putting it on a burner.
Soup’s starting to thicken up good. Has a nice cream texture and green look to it. And there you have my cream of asparagus soup!
