Creamy Asparagus Soup - Creamy and lush with a delicate flavour

Asparagus. I can never decide what to think about asparagus. I want to love it and I buy those pretty little green spears from the market excitedly, until I remember that generally they disappoint me.

I can eat them smothered in hollandaise, or wrapped in bacon, but I kind of feel like if I have to hide them under layers of something else, it’s not really enjoying them. You know?

BUT. This soup is a different kettle of fish…or pot of soup. Creamy and lush with a delicate flavour, there’s no hiding about it. The chicken stock brings out a sweet depth to the asparagus and the cream gives it a wonderful richness.

Go on. Even if you’re not always a fan of asparagus, give this one a try.
