  • First, prep the asparagus: trim off the thickest part of the pre-washed spears—roughly 1/4 of their total length—then use a knife to peel the thin skin from the rest of the stalk. Cut the peeled stalks into pieces, setting aside a few whole spears (just a handful). Choose a heavy-bottomed pot (a thick base is the key) and sweat the chopped onion in melted butter until soft. Add the prepared asparagus, pour in the broth (or water), and bring to a boil with the lid on. Pour in the cream and continue cooking for about 15 minutes (depending on how thick the stalks are)—the goal is to get the spears tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Purée the cooked asparagus together with the cream (set the whole spears aside—lift them out of the pot) using an immersion blender, aiming for the smoothest, most uniform consistency you can (if the soup seems too thick, add more warm cream and blend again; if it's too thin, simmer it a bit to drive off the excess liquid). Squeeze in some lemon juice, stir, and ladle into bowls, adding pieces of the reserved asparagus spears to each and garnishing with croutons. Enjoy!
