Ingredients

• 1 small onion (approx. 100 g), peeled and quartered

• 700 g vegetable stock

Instructions

2. Add olive oil to the bowl. Sauté 3 min / 120°C / Speed 1.
3. Add the chopped asparagus, vegetable stock, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to prevent splatter and allow for some evaporation.
4. Cook 15 min / 100°C / Speed 1. Pause halfway through (at 7-8 minutes) to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with the spatula, ensuring even cooking.
5. Carefully remove the simmering basket. Blend the soup 1 min / Speed 7, gradually increasing speed from 5 to 7. Use the spatula to assist if needed, ensuring a smooth consistency.
6. Add the cooking cream to the bowl. Heat 2 min / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse) to incorporate the cream and ensure the soup is hot.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives if desired.
