Instructions
Remove from the heat and strain the soup through a medium sieve into a bowl, reserving the liquid.
Rubbing the mixture through with a flexible scraper or wooden spoon and leaving the fibrous parts in the sieve.
Discard the contents of the sieve.
Reheat gently over low heat, making sure not to let the soup boil.Notes
If you leave the bits of fibrous asparagus skin in the soup, they give it a very unpleasant texture.
Use a sieve with a medium mesh, not too coarse and not too fine: too coarse will let too much of the fiber through, too fine will make the job of straining too difficult.Asparagus Soup Serving Suggestions

For the richest version of this recipe, use a full cup of thickened cream, produces an especially luscious and velvety soup.
For a lighter soup with fewer calories, use the smaller amount of whipping cream or substitute light cream.
If you're planning to use only ¼ cup of cream, cook the asparagus in 3 cups of water so that you'll have enough cooking water to add to the finished soup to achieve the right consistency.
To make cream of asparagus soup vegan, cook the asparagus in 3 cups of water, omit the cream, and use oil instead of butter to cook the spring onion.Recommended Products
