Cream of Asparagus Soup Recipe

ASPARAGUS SOUP WITHOUT CREAM OR HALF AND HALF:

This asparagus soup recipe is made without cream, with half and half. Half and Half is - half cream and half milk. You can also make the soup without half and half and use one of following in Step 4 of Recipe.

  1. Asparagus Soup with Greek Yogurt: To use yogurt, after pureeing the soup in Step 3, add yogurt in last batch. Then mix with rest of soup in the pot. I recommend not to re-heat the soup after adding yogurt.
  2. Asparagus Soup with Coconut Milk:  Use full-fat coconut milk. Add 1/2 well mixed coconut milk instead of half-half or cream in Step-4. Mix well until fully mixed into the soup. You can also gently heat the soup. 
  3. Asparagus Soup Vegan: For vegan asparagus soup, use the Coconut Milk as stated in suggestion 2 above. Also, substitute the Chicken 
    Stock with Vegetable Stock.
  4. For extra-low-calorie soup, simply skip finishing the soup with Half and Half. Soup will still be creamy because of cooked Potato in the soup. 

Creamy soup of asparagus with half and half

Garnish this delicious soup with some crunchy toppings or shaved tips of asparagus. In crunchy toppings, I love to use garlic croutons, toasted pumpkin  seeds, and/or fried asparagus tips.
