Savory Asparagus Soup
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
1
Begin by heating the margarine in a thick-walled cooking vessel over medium heat. Add sliced onion and diced celery, then cook until they become soft and translucent, approximately 4 minutes. Introduce the flour into the mixture, blending it thoroughly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Next, combine water, chicken broth, and pre-made chicken soup base in the pot; stir until a uniform consistency is achieved. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then add diced potatoes and asparagus spears. Gradually decrease the heat and let it simmer for around 20 minutes.

Subsequently, transfer the soup to a food processor or blender in batches and puree it until smooth. Return the blended soup to the original pot.
3
Add half-and-half, soy sauce, and white pepper to the pot. Stir gently until it reaches a simmering point just shy of boiling over. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired to achieve your preferred flavor profile.

Finally, serve the soup hot, garnished with any additional ingredients you may desire.
