Directions

Prep 15 minCook 30 min

1
Trim woody ends from the asparagus. Reserve the tender spear tips, then slice the stalks into 1/4-inch rounds.
2
In a 4- to 5-quart pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
3
Stir in the sliced asparagus stalks (not the reserved tips). Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Add the chicken broth, water, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until the asparagus is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Add the reserved asparagus tips and simmer uncovered until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
6
Blend the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth. If using an upright blender, work in small batches, filling the jar no more than one-third and holding the lid firmly. For an extra-silky texture, pass the purée through a fine-mesh sieve.
7
Return the soup to low heat. Stir in the cream and lemon juice, then adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
