Homemade soups are the best thing ever! I love creamy and perfectly smooth soups and this recipe is exactly what I was trying to create.
This can be easily whipped up within 30 minutes and if you pair it with a baguette and perhaps a small side salad, then you've got yourself a meal! I hope you all enjoy :)

Ingredients:
- 1 Lb Fresh Asparagus

Directions:
1. Gather all ingredients. Wash asparagus, lemon, and parsley & dry off.
2. Chop asparagus into 1-inch pieces, making sure to throw away the ends.
3. Dice yellow onion and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat and add the onion and garlic.

Tips/Tricks:
- I recommend using a stick blender to quickly blend the soup, but be careful not to splash yourself with hot soup!
- When using a blender to blend hot items, always be careful opening the lid or the vent, hot soup could escape.
