Roasted Asparagus Soup
Creamy, yet fresh and light, this soup takes full advantage of the abundance of springtime asparagus. Roasting the asparagus brings out its sweetness and gives the soup a subtle smoky note while a touch of cream adds richness. An immersion blender is a great tool for blending vegetable soups. If you don’t have one, a traditional blender or food processor will get the job done.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
