Asparagus Soup Recipe



Each spring, my husband takes our dogs and searches for wild asparagus. He's been so successful that I finally developed this recipe. We look forward to this special soup every year.





    Prep: 15 min.
    Cook: 45 min.
    Yield: 9 Servings


Ingredients


    1 cup chopped onion
    6 green onions, sliced
    3 tablespoons butter
    1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 can (49-1/2 ounces) chicken or vegetable broth
    1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 cups cooked wild rice
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/3 cup water


Directions

    In a 3-qt. saucepan, saute onions in butter for 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until tender. Add asparagus, broth and seasonings; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
    Add rice. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 8-10 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
