Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Trim the 1 pound asparagus and cut into 1 inch pieces. Peel and chop the 1 medium onion.

  2. Step 2

    In a pot, combine the asparagus, onion, and 3 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the 0.5 cup heavy cream and juice of the 1 lemon. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Serve hot, garnished with the 0.25 cup fresh dill.

  5. Step 5

    If you like, add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne for extra flavor.
