Directions
- Peel the outer layer of the asparagus with a vegetable peeler. Trim off the ends to remove any tough, woody bits.
- Place the asparagus in a large pot on medium-high heat, with 2 cups (480 mL) of water. Bring to simmer and let cook partially covered for 8 - 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked asparagus to a plate and reserve the steaming liquid by pouring it into a bowl.
- Return the pot to the burner, add the oil and onion, sautéing for 2 - 3 minutes, or until lightly golden. Add splashes of the reserved water to deglaze the pot as needed.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Then add the potatoes, bouillon cubes, paprika powder, and the reserved cooking water. Add an additional 2 cups (480 mL) of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer while partially covered for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Cut the tips off the asparagus and reserve for garnish. Cut the stalks into 2 - 3 pieces and add to the pot after it has boiled, and you have turned it down to a simmer.
- Once the potatoes cooked through, remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Alternatively, you can use a standing blender to blend.
- Pour the hot soup into your desired bowls. Serve with the reserved asparagus tips as a garnish, along with any other desired garnish. Enjoy!
