Ingredients
I have made this creamy asparagus soup with fresh asparagus, celery, onion, and garlic. For flavor, I have added some salt, pepper, and Italian while serving. A low sodium vegetable broth is preferred to make this soup.
Instructions
Making asparagus soup in the Instant Pot is very easy with very little prep work. Since the soup will be blended into a puree, ingredients like celery, garlic, and onion can be cut into chunks to save time. Also, only trim the ends of asparagus.
Step 1: Gather ingredients for asparagus soup.
Step 2: Put all the ingredients except cream and black pepper into the Instant Pot liner.
Pressure cook all the ingredients for 5 minutes on high pressure mode and then let the pressure release manually for 10 minutes. Release the remaining pressure manually by moving the pressure knob to the venting position.
Blend the asparagus soup using an immersion bender or in a standalone high speed blender like Vitamix. Adjust the taste by adding salt if needed. While serving, and add some black pepper, cream, and herbs.
Step 3: Pressure cook for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Discard bay leaf and blend the ingredients into a smooth soup.
Substitutions
Coconut milk - though cream is optional, instead of heavy cream, you can serve the asparagus soup with some coconut milk to make it vegan.
Frozen asparagus - instead of fresh asparagus, frozen asparagus can be used without any changes to the recipe.
