Creamy Asparagus Soup

by Annmarie

This asparagus soup is quick to make using fresh asparagus, a bit of tender onion, and savory broth. Blended until smooth with a splash of cream, it’s rich, comforting, and full of natural flavor. Top it off with grated parmesan and a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, delicious finish.

Vegetable soups like tomato or cauliflower are perfect for using seasonal produce—and this asparagus soup is no exception. It’s a great way to highlight fresh garden vegetables in a simple yet satisfying dish. Whether as a starter or light lunch, this soup never disappoints.

Notes

  • Additional veggies can be added to stretch the soup further. Zucchini or celery are great options.
  • If using a regular blender to puree soup or hot liquids, do not seal the lid. The steam can build up and cause a dangerous mess.
  •  If you’d prefer more texture, remove a handful of the asparagus before blending. Chop it and stir it back into the soup after blending.
  • To thicken, allow the soup to simmer uncovered or stir in some potato flakes.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. Reheat on low heat to prevent the cream from curdling. Do not freeze.
