20 minutes

Green asparagus puree soup is a delicate and aromatic dish of French cuisine that embodies elegance and sophistication. Its origin is linked to the traditional French love for fresh seasonal ingredients, as asparagus has long been considered a delicacy. The velvety texture of the soup is achieved by lightly sautéing the asparagus, cooking it in chicken broth, and then pureeing it. Cream adds softness and a gentle creamy flavor to the dish, while black pepper and salt enhance its refinement. This soup is perfect as a light starter, especially in spring when young asparagus is at its freshest and most flavorful.
