Ingredients

- 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

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 from Ricardo

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