recipe originally published March 24, 2011
While we are experiencing brighter and longer days, they are still a bit cold.
Cool weather = warm soup. Even on warmer days - this soup works.
This soup has another layer of warmth with the hint of peppers. A dreamy creamy consistency that needs no dairy. A vibrant green that says whole foods and fresh greens.
Enjoy!

Love the bright color in this! I love this recipe, because I always find myself grabbing a bundle of asparagus at the store this time of year, when it's in season. But one can only enjoy steamed asparagus for so long. 🙂 I'll have to give this a try!
spabettie says
yes - try it... YUM. I rarely steam asparagus anymore... I roast it usually...
whitney says
Wow! This is so bright and green I love it!

My mom and I ordered asparagus soup at a restaurant - and were surprised when it came out cold - neither of us liked it, but we took it home and heated it up - delicious!
You just reminded me that I wanted to recreate that at home - now I don't have to - I'll just steal your recipe 😀
Have a great weekend!
spabettie says
I'm not a fan of many cold soups... glad you warmed it and made it better! 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend too, Biz!!
