Cream of Asparagus Soup
Makes eight 6-ounce servings
¾ cup parsley leaves
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
¾ pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups chicken stock or broth
1 cup half-and-half
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1½ cups cold water
salt and white pepper, to taste
Place parsley in Cuisinart ® SmartPower Duet ® blender jar. Place cover
on blender jar. Turn blender on and pulse on Purée until coarsely
chopped, about 4 to 5 times. Turn blender off. Reserve.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and
cook until soft but not brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add asparagus,
stock, and all but 1 tablespoon of reserved parsley. Cover; bring to a
boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, partially
covered, until asparagus is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Drain vegetables, being sure to reserve the cooking liquid. Allow
cooking liquid to cool 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid and
half of the solids, in order listed, to the blender jar. Place cover on
blender jar. Turn blender on and blend on Food Processor speed until
smooth, about 25 to 30 seconds. Turn blender off. Return the puréed
vegetable mixture to the saucepan. Repeat with remaining 1 cup liquid
and vegetables. Add remaining cooking liquid and half-and-half to
puréed vegetables in the saucepan; stir to combine. Stir cornstarch into
water, and add to soup. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until
soup thickens, about 6 to 8 minutes. Do not boil. Adjust seasonings to
taste; garnish with remaining parsley, and serve.
