hi Anniemac123, yes as the asparagus tips are so delicate and tender, i just add them raw. They will be slightly 'cooked' in the hot soup, but still be firm and a little crunchy for texture. hope you like it
This recipe sounds lovely. I only don't understand the end part with the asparagus tips. Are they added raw to the soup?
I havent really cooked with asparagus much but when my veggie box came 2 weeks in a row with a bunch I decided to give this soup a try! wow it is very tasty, so easy to make, I doubled the portion of sweet potato as I love a thick soup. Very yummy , will make again Thank you for sharing
This recipe turns out beautifully! Ticks all the boxes - tasty, easy to make, healthy, fuss-free ingredients. I got about 4 x 200ml serves, so I'd make double if you're serving it as a main. Very balanced flavour, didn't even need any salt and pepper. Not as asparagus-y as your standard asparagus soup, which can be good for fussy eaters.
I was apprenhensive about blending the hot mix at speed 9, so I did it slower at lower speed and it turned out fine.
