Description

This soup couldn’t be easier to make. Plus, there is a secret ingredient that makes this soup creamy and thick without all the calories.

Ingredients

  • ½ Tablespoons Butter
  • ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1  Small Onion, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • 14 ounces, weight Canned White Beans, Drained And Rinsed
  • 3 cups Chicken Stock
  • Cayenne Pepper To Taste
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1  Small Lemon, Juiced
  • 2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt Or Sour Cream
  • 3 slices Bacon, Chopped

Preparation

1. In a large pot, heat the oil/butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute for 5 minutes. Chop the garlic and add it into the pot with the onion and saute for 3 minutes longer.

2. Cut the tips off of the asparagus and set then aside. Cut the rough ends off the bottom and discard them.

3. Chop the rest of the asparagus into 1-inch segments and add to the pot with the onion. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender.

4. Add in the beans, stock, cayenne, pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Simmer for 25 minutes, uncovered.

5. Let the soup cool slightly before blending; you can use an immersion blender or a kitchen blender. If using a kitchen blender, you will have to blend the hot soup in parts as not to make a mess. Add the yogurt to the blended soup.

6. In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until almost crisp, then add the asparagus tips and saute for 3 minutes. Drain any excess grease and use this mixture as a garnish over each serving.

I top my soup with some fresh cracked black pepper.
