Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. asparagus spears, trimmed
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper
- 1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 6 cups Swanson® Vegetable Broth (Regular or Certified Organic)
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- Fresh rosemary leaves (optional)
- Place the asparagus in a single layer on a large platter. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and black pepper and toss to coat.
- Heat the grill to medium. Place a multi-funtional perforated grill pan on the grill. Place the asparagus on the pan in a single layer and grill for 8 minutes or until the asparagus is tender-crisp, turning halfway through cooking. Remove from heat to a cutting board and let cool.
- Heat the remaining oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until they're tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, cut the grilled asparagus diagonally into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the flour to the onion mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Gradually stir in the broth. Heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Place one third of the broth mixture and one half of the asparagus into a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Repeat the blending process twice more with the remaining broth mixture. Return all of the pureed mixture to the saucepan. Add the remaining asparagus and rosemary. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is hot. Garnish with rosemary leaves, if desired.
