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!

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