Ingredients
- 1 pint onion, ½" dice
- ¼ c vegetable oil
- 1 c celery, ½" dice
- 1 quart asparagus*, 1" pieces
- 1 pint Idaho or russet potato (about 1 large), ½" dice
- 1 Tbl kosher salt
- 1 ½ quarts chicken stock
- dash black pepper
- Garnish
- ½ c whipped cream
- Drizzle Truffle oil
Instructions
- 1. Start with a short-sided pot/pan, preheat to high. Once pan is hot, add vegetable oil and diced onions. Sauté until onions become fragrant and slightly golden, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- 2. Add Celery and asparagus to pan with cooked onions. Season with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and black pepper. Continue to sauté over high heat until asparagus and celery are soft and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- 3. Add potatoes and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- 4. Transfer all vegetable to a tall-sided 8-qt. soup pot. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil then immediately reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
- 5. Puree soup using a blender or food processor. Do not use an immersion blender or it won't be creamy enough. Do a little at a time.
Notes
- Before serving, taste and correct seasoning with additional kosher salt and pepper as needed. Garnish soup with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle truffle oil.
- To whip cream: Place whipping cream and ¼ tsp kosher salt and a dash of pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whip cream using a hand held mixer or wire whip. Whip until it holds soft peaks.
- * Can substitute any vegetable for asparagus.
