Asparagus Soup
WHAT YOU NEED
- 10 ounces asparagus, washed and patted dry
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons butter or ghee
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup Cacique Crema Mexican Agria
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cacique shredded cheese of your choice
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Removed the bottoms of the asparagus stalks (about 1 inch). In a large saucepan, combine broth and asparagus stalks and cook over low-medium heat. Bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat.
- In the meantime, melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, slowly whisk in flour until ingredients have incorporated. Purée broth with asparagus until well mixed. Strain and add the asparagus puree to the pot with the butter mixture. Stir in slowly to avoid forming lumps. Then add the Cacique Crema Mexicana Agria, salt, pepper and bring to boil, about 5 minutes and remove from heat. Serve in a bowl and top with your favorite Cacique shredded cheese.
- Cook’s Note: I like to top my Asparagus soup with different types of Cacique cheeses. My favorites are crumbled Queso Panela or shredded Cacique Oaxaca, but you can definitely top with any Cacique cheese you prefer.
