With leftover asparagus in the freezer, I whipped this up on a cold January night and couldn't keep the ladle out of the pot! Serve with a crispy baguette.

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 small onions, chopped
½ cup chopped mushrooms, or to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and coarsely chopped
⅓ cup dry white wine
2 dashes dried thyme, or more to taste
1 dash ground black pepper
3 cups vegetable broth, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until onions soften, about 5 minutes.
