Asparagus, Lemon, and Mint Soup

"This soup is easy to make. Asparagus has a strong flavor by itself, so I chose to add a few mint leaves and lemon zest to give it a wonderfully fresh aroma!"

Ingredients :

• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups chicken stock, or more if needed
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

Instructions :

Prep : 15M	Cook : 2M	Ready in : 35M

• Cut tips from 6 asparagus spears, about 1 1/2 inches from the top; reserve for garnish later. Chop the remaining asparagus into chunks.
• Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat; cook and stir shallot in the hot oil until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chopped asparagus; season with mint, salt, and pepper. Cook until asparagus are slightly tender, about 3 minutes.
• Pour chicken stock into asparagus mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until asparagus are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in lemon zest.
• Blend soup using a hand blender or a food processor until smooth.
• Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook asparagus tips in the boiling water until just turning bright green, about 2 minutes. Strain asparagus tips and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Garnish soup with asparagus tips and hard-boiled egg.

Notes :

• You may substitute a leek for the shallot, if desired.
