The perfect clear asparagus soup recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
For the soup:
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Pc Chopped onion
- 3 Pc Garlic clove chopped
- 3 Pc Chopped ginger
- 1 Pc Chilli pepper fresh
- 300 g Fresh white asparagus
- 300 g Asparagus green fresh
- 1 liter Asparagus broth
- 1 Pc. Kohlrabi fresh
- 4 Pc Fresh tomato
- Salt and pepper Worcester sauce
Also :
- 2 Pc Black sausages raw
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
For the crostini
- 0,5 Pc Baguette wheat-rye
- 2 tbsp Wild garlic pesto
- 1 Pc Mozzarella ball
- 1 Pc Frozen parsley stock
Preparations:
- Wash asparagus, peel, whites whole, green only about 3-4 cm at the bottom. Cut off the ends with the peel in a saucepan, cover with water (cold), bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Cut into 2-3 cm pieces. Peel the tomatoes and cut into cubes. Finely chop the ginger and chilli. Peel the kohlrabi and cut into large sticks. Squeeze out the pork sausages and shape them into balls the size of a marble.
Prepare soup:
- Let the oil warm up in a stock pot and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Steam the ginger and chilli. Add white asparagus for a moment and steam with the asparagus stock, simmer for about 5 minutes, then add green asparagus and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the kohlrabi and tomatoes and cook everything al dente. Season to taste with salt, pepper and Worcester sauce.
Fry sausage balls:
- Let the oil get hot in a frying pan and fry the sausage balls until light brown. Keep warm.
Bake crostini:
- Cut the baguette across into cm thick slices, brush with wild garlic pesto, top with one or two mozzarella slices and gratinate in the oven at 230 ° C (grill setting) for 3-5 minutes. For the wild garlic pesto see RZ in my cookbook.
Serving soup:
- Put 6-7 sausage balls in a preheated plate, pour the soup over them, sprinkle with parsley and serve the crostini separately. Eh voilà …… enjoy now. Oh yes, I almost forgot: 1 glass of Oeil-de-Perdrix (white wine from Neuchâtel) or a Rosé Dôle Blanche go perfectly with it. But you can also do it without wine.
