Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups chicken bone broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup Marsala wine
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground Aleppo pepper
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add asparagus and bone broth; cover and simmer until asparagus is tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
