Creamy Asparagus Soup

This delicious Creamy Asparagus Soup is so healthy and easy to make.  No heavy cream just simple goodness for a wonderful comfort soup.

I think I have mentioned before that I have an immense love of creamy pureed soup, especially this Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Soup.  Cook up some veggies and put them in a blender and I’m so happy.

Since asparagus is one of my favorite veggies I was trying to come up with a new way to make it this week and my husband mentioned soup.  Thanks for the great idea, honey!  Let’s do just that.  He actually did most of the cooking on this one.  I just stood by and took pictures.  I could get really used to this.

It is so simple to make.  Just cook the asparagus with onion in a little chicken or vegetable broth.  Then puree it in a blender and then add a few more ingredients and done.

Add this asparagus soup to your list of clean eating recipes too!  The perfect lunch!

INGREDIENTS

1 pound fresh asparagus

3/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup milk of choice

1/2 cup yogurt

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Parmesan cheese, optional

DIRECTIONS

Trim about an 1-1/2 inches off the ends of the asparagus. (this will get rid of any strings)

Place asparagus and onion in a saucepan with 1/2 cup vegetable broth.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until the tender. (save a couple of asparagus spears to garnish with)

Place remaining vegetable mixture in an electric blender and puree until smooth.

Place oil (or butter) in the same pan.

Add flour, salt and pepper and stir constantly for about 2 minutes. (careful not to brown the flour mixture)

Stir in remaining 1 1/4 cups of broth.

Continue stirring until it comes to a boil.

Stir in the puree and milk.

Finally stir in the yogurt and lemon until heated through.

Garnish with reserved cut asparagus tips and sprinkle with parmesan if desired
