Ingredients

• ½ bunch of asparagus (about 14-18 stalks, depending on the thickness of the stalk), trimmed and thinly sliced into 1-inch pieces (and reserving the tips for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ small onion, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 sprig of thyme
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and Pepper

Preparation

1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the asparagus until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon and set it aside in a bowl.
2. In a medium pan over medium heat, melt butter. Saute the onion until translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Pour broth into the pan and add thyme sprig. Bring to a gentle simmer and keep it simmering for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Remove the thyme sprig and pour the heavy whipping cream into the pan. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat and transfer the cream sauce to a blender. Add the cooked asparagus and grated Parmesan. Blend until smooth, then divide the mixture between two bowls. Garnish with asparagus tips.
