- Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cover and cook until the asparagus is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Pass the soup through a chinois into a clean saucepan.
- Stir in the cream plus more stock if needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Set the pan over low heat and reheat the soup to serving temperature.
