Asparagus Velouté with Boiled Egg

Studio Lunch Asparagus Velouté with Boiled Egg

 Asparagus is one of the first signs of spring at the farmer's market. We love all things asparagus - whether it's an asparagus-shaped tureen, or an asparagus soup to put inside the tureen. This soup can be served hot or cold. We had it cold.

 

Serves 6

 

INGREDIENTS

2 lb asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces with the bottom's hard bits removed

1 large onion or leek, chopped

1/3 c flour

5 tbsp butter, divided

4 c veg stock, hot

Boiled eggs

RECIPE 

Melt the 4 tbsp butter in a pot. Add flour. Cook the flour on medium-low heat for a couple of minutes. Add the hot stock. Whisk. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes. (This is a basic velouté).

 

Meanwhile, in another pot, add 1 tbs butter and the onion. Season with salt. Cook for a few minutes. Add the asparagus. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the velouté to the asparagus. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until asparagus is tender but not overcooked.

Blend the soup in a blender. Taste for salt.
