This Cheesy Cream of Asparagus Soup blends tender asparagus with sharp cheddar and velvety cream for a rich, comforting dish perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place your soup pot over medium heat and get all ingredients ready.
  2. Melt butter in the pot, sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, stirring to avoid lumps.
  4. Add chopped asparagus, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until asparagus is tender.
  5. Remove from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender in batches. Return to pot.
  6. Stir in cream and cheese over low heat until fully melted and blended.
  7. Ladle into bowls, garnish, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use only the tender parts of asparagus for the best texture.
  • Add cream at the end to prevent curdling.
  • For extra smoothness, strain the soup after blending.
  • Try a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
