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 :)
Cream of Asparagus Soup:
Yield: 4 Servings
Cook Time: 30 Min
Ingredients:
- 1 Lb Fresh Asparagus

- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 14.5 oz Can Cream of Potato Soup
- 3 Tbsp Earth Balance or Butter
- 3 Tbsp Flour

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.
4. Sauté until the onions are translucent in color. Next, add the earth balance or butter in the same saucepan and melt. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes.

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.
