1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
4 cups (1 litre) asparagus, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces
5 cups (1.25 litres) chicken broth
3 tablespoons (45 ml) long grain rice

In a saucepan, sauté the onion in the butter. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute.

In a blender, purée the soup until smooth, then pass the soup through a fine sieve to remove the remaining fibers. Season with salt and pepper.
