Ingredients:
- about 4-6 sprigs of fresh thyme
- several dashes of tabasco sauce(green, if you have it
- about 1/2-3/4 cup heavy cream
Directions:
- Place asparagus and mushrooms on a large baking sheet, with sides. Try to put asparagus on one side and the mushrooms on the other to make things easier, later.
- Drizzle with olive oil and then toss around a bit to coat.
- Place tray in a 450 oven and roast, tossing once, if needed, for about 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside(remember, keep separate)
- Meanwhile, melt butter in large stock or soup pot.
- Add onion and cook about 10 minutes, until soft.
- Add garlic and cook 5 minutes more.
- Add stock, thyme, asparagus and salt and pepper.
- Simmer soup about 15-20 minutes, until asparagus is very tender.
- Remove thyme sprigs.(you can use just the leaves, if desired, then you don't have to remove the sprigs, but the flavor will be a lil more intense. I prefer the simmer/remove method for most dishes with the earthier herbs like rosemary and thyme)
- Using an immersion blender(or a regular blender, in batches), carefully blend soup until smooth. (I always remove from the heat for this)
- Add mushrooms(use slotted spoon if a lot of liquid roasted off the mushrooms), Tabasco sauce and cream and return to heat.
- Heat just until heated through. Don't boil.
- Garnish with reserved roasted asparagus tops and garlic/pepper fried onions, if desired.
