We had a wedding at our home a week ago. The marriage took place between the parents of a dear friend of ours. His parents were originally married 50 years ago and unfortunately spilt up when our friend was about 5 years old. After 45 years, this couple reunites and decides to exchange vows .To make a long story short we were left with several pounds of grilled asparagus! So what does one do with several pounds of grilled asparagus…make soup of course! Why am I making soup in June? With the crazy weather we have seen in the past few weeks, you never know when you’ll need a good soup. So here is my new grilled asparagus recipe for you to try…
Into a large blender or food processor add the following:
2-3 pounds of grilled asparagus
2 quarts of chicken stock
2 cups of cooked quinoa
5 cloves of garlic peeled
A medium onion sautéed in a frying pan
½ cup of shredded parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Blend until smooth and thin if necessary with additional broth. Put the mixture into a pot and bring to a simmer. After simmering 15 minutes, season with additional salt if needed. Add a dollop of sour or a swirl of cream…great for a cool summer evening!
