Description

This vibrant green soup makes the best of spring asparagus and is extra delicious with a swirl of basil pesto.

Method

Step 1 of 3

Heat half of the butter in a large, deep pan and cook the asparagus tips for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the rest of the butter and cook the onions for 6 minutes until soft.

Step 2 of 3

Add the garlic, asparagus stalks and spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour over the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, remove from the heat and blitz until smooth with an immersion blender.
