Zuppa cremosa di asparagi is a deliciously creamy way to enjoy the fresh, vibrant taste of asparagus, perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!

1

Begin by washing the asparagus thoroughly. Trim off the woody ends and chop into smaller pieces.

2

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

3

Peel and cube 1 potato, then add it to the pan along with the chopped asparagus. Sauté for another 5 minutes.

4

Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and asparagus are tender.

5

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend in batches.

6

After blending, return the soup to the pot and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.

Serve hot, adding grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
