How to Make Creamy Asparagus Soup
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until soft and translucent, stir occasionally.
- Add potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and water or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Then reduce heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add the asparagus and continue simmering for 5 more minutes. Remove pot from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender, then add lemon juice, lemon zest and basil, blend until creamy and well combined. Season to taste.
- Serve with toppings of your choice.
