Creamy Asparagus Soup - great one for cold nights. Quick & easy to do with hand blender

Creamy Asparagus Soup
(Serves 4)
If you are anything like me & love asparagus, yet you cannot wait until it’s in season when it’s more affordable to buy. I like making this creamy asparagus soup as it’s easy & quick to make & called for when the weather turns cold.
Best thing to have is a blender to make the soup extra smooth. I love using my powerful hand blender as it goes straight into the pot & whizzzzzz!
You Need:
Approx. 600g Asparagus, ends trimmed & roughly chopped
2 tbsp olive/avocado/ veg oil
2 celery sticks, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 fat or 2 small garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp seasalt or to taste
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp plain flour
1 ltr vegetable/ chicken stock
300ml double cream or alternative
Chives, chopped for decoration
Wedges of lemons for a little squeeze
*you may use alternative ingredients to make this vegan or gluten free soup, it shouldn’t change in flavour.
🥘In a good sized pan, add oil, onions & celery & fry for 2-5 mins over medium heat until they are soft, don’t allow for them to go brown.
🧄 Add garlic, cook for 2 mins then add asparagus, chopped into large chunks. Cook this for 3-5 mins then add seasonings of seasalt, allspice, black pepper, plain flour & give everything a good stir & cook for 1 min.
💦 Add stock, stir well clearing clumps of flour. Bring to boiling point thrn lower heat to simmer for 30 mins. Then turn off the heat when ready to blend soup to be smooth.
🌪️Next, if using a blender carefully ladle & pour soup & whizz on fast to make the soup smooth. If using a hand blender (like me in video), place hand blender directly into pan & whizz until soup is smooth & lump free - this also helps with washing up!
🍦Add the cream & stir well
🥣 Check for seasoning & pour into warmed bowls, decorate with chopped chives & if people want to add a little lemon juice to balance out the rich cream, keep a couple of wedges of lemons on side for people to help themselves.
🥖 serve with crusty yummy bread of your choice.
