Preparation

In a saucepan, sauté the onion in the butter. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute.
Add the broth and rice. Cover and simmer until the asparagus are tender, about 15 minutes.
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.

Note

To keep asparagus longer, wrap them in a wet towel, stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Freezes well.

I wasn't sure with the lack of cream and the addition of rice but wow - really good - just a wee bit of fleur-de-sel and freshly ground black pepper at the table and perfecto. Lovely light bright summer soup
