Preparation with briquettes Heat approx. 10-12 briquettes and place them under the Dutch Oven.
Preparation
Firstly, wash the asparagus, pat it dry and then peel it. Cut off the ends and put them to one side along with the asparagus skin. Cut the rest of the asparagus into pieces and put the tips to one side too.
Peel the onion and chop it into small pieces. Now add 1 tbsp butter to the preheated Dutch oven and add the onions. Once they are translucent, pour in the vegetable stock.
Once the vegetable stock is boiling, add the asparagus peelings and ends to the pot and leave everything to simmer for around half an hour. Then pour the stock into a bowl or another pot and use a sieve to catch the ends and peelings. These can be disposed of.
Heat the butter in a pan and add the flour for the roux. Pour the stock into the pan and stir vigorously with a whisk so that no lumps form.
The asparagus pieces, except for the tips, are now placed in the Dutch oven for about 15 minutes until the asparagus is cooked. Add the asparagus tips at the end of the cooking time so that they boil and cook for a few more minutes. Season everything with salt and pepper and a little nutmeg to taste. Put some asparagus pieces and tips to one side.
Now add the lemon juice and cream to the Dutch oven. Finely puree the entire contents in the pot with a hand blender until a creamy soup is formed.
Pour the hotpot soup into bowls and garnish with the asparagus pieces and cress.
For a very special flavour, you can fry the pieces of asparagus set aside for this creamy Dutch oven soup once more in the lid of the Dutch oven with butter. The soup goes well with a delicious baguette or our rustic bread from the Dutch Oven.
