Melt the butter in a medium Cuisinart® saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft but not brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add asparagus, stock, and all but 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the reserved parsley. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until asparagus is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Pour the soup through a strainer, reserving the solids and liquids. Allow to cool 5 minutes. Place the solids in the blender jar with 1 cup (250 ml) of the cooking liquid; return the remaining liquid to the saucepan. Cover blender jar and turn to On. Blend on Low until creamy and smooth, about 25 to 30 seconds. Turn blender off. Return puréed vegetable mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine. Stir in half-and- half. Stir cornstarch into water, and add to soup. Add salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until soup thickens, about 6 to

8 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve in warmed bowls garnished with the remaining parsley.
