A delightful and creamy asparagus and potato soup that's easy to prepare and perfect for a comforting meal.
Prepare the vegetables by washing and chopping the asparagus, peeling and dicing the potatoes, and finely chopping the onion.
Cut the asparagus into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a sauce pot, combine the asparagus, potatoes, onion, vegetable broth, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Using a ladle, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
Blend in small batches to avoid overfilling the blender.
Stir in the cream and heat gently until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Do not boil after adding the cream to prevent curdling.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream or fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
