Easy How-To

Let’s Get Cooking

First things first, grab your asparagus and trim off those woody ends. Then, chop it into little pieces… about 2 to 3 centimeters long. Now, peel and cube the potato; you want those cubes small enough to cook through nicely. In a pot, toss the cubes into boiling salted water and let them hang out for about 10 to 12 minutes until they’re tender. While that’s happening, in the last 5 to 7 minutes, toss the chopped asparagus in with the potatoes so they can soften but still stay bright green and fresh-looking.

Next up, drain those veggies and return them to the pot. Grab your vegetable stock, adding just enough to cover everything; you can adjust it later. Time to blend! If you’ve got a hand blender, great, or you can transfer everything to a blender… just make sure it’s smooth and creamy. Now, back on the heat, add your seasoning—salt, pepper, maybe even a little splash of lemon juice for brightness. Stir it all together and heat through.

While that’s warming, whisk the eggs and cream in a bowl until nicely combined… season a bit more, you know, it’s good to taste as you go. Now, take your soup off the heat and pour in the egg mixture slowly, stirring continuously to keep those eggs from scrambling. It’s all about that silky soup vibe!

Finally, ladle the soup into bowls, and don’t forget to top it with grated cheese, croutons, or even a drizzle of good olive oil if you’re feeling fancy. There you go, so comforting!
