Recipe by Bluegrass Grill

Yield: 10-12 servings

1 pound asparagus, tough ends

2 large Vidalia onions, rough chopped
1 russet potato, peeled and rough chopped
1 cup half-and-half or to taste
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
2-3 tablespoons sherry or to taste

Trim tender tips from asparagus, lightly steam and set aside. Rough chop remaining stalks and place in large pot with onions, potato and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer until vegetables are soft. Turn off heat.
Using an immersion blender, purée mixture until very smooth. Turn heat to medium-low and add half-and-half, cheese and sherry. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, top each bowl with some of the lightly steamed asparagus tips and a dash of smoked paprika.
