Start making the soup by preparing the vegetables. Cut the woodier ends off from the asparagus and discard. Chop up the peeled parsnips, asparagus, and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Pay closer to attention to the size of the veggies if you are not blending the soup.
In a soup pot on medium heat, drizzle in the olive oil. Add in the chopped onions, minced garlic, parsnips and cauliflower. Cook while stirring, until the onions are translucent.
1 tablespoon Olive Oil, 1 medium Yellow Onion, 6 cloves Garlic, 600 grams Cauliflower, 200 grams Parsnips
Pour the broth and water into the pot over the vegetables and add the salt. Bring to a simmer and turn the heat down to maintain the simmering. Place the lid on the pot and cook until the parsnips are for tender.
4 cups Chicken Broth, 2 cups Water, ½ tablespoon Salt
Place the chopped asparagus into the soup pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, just long enough to blanch. Take the soup off the heat.
400 grams Asparagus
Add the chopped chives to the soup and blend with a stick blender until smooth. Stir in the chopped dill and serve.
5 grams Fresh Chives
High Power Blender Instructions: If using a high powdered blender, let the soup cool for 15 minutes before blending a third, or half of the soup at a time (depending on the size of your blender). Make sure to remove the vent hole when blending warm soup, and covering it up with a tea towel to protect from splashing. Bring back to the soup pot to warm back up if desired. Stir in the chopped dill and serve.
