A rich and creamy asparagus soup can be made from just a few simple vegetarian ingredients. Watch this video to see what to do. For the best flavor, asparagus should be cooked just until tender but still firm rather than soft and overcooked. Asparagus season is coming to an end soon, so enjoy this crisp late spring vegetable while you still can! As an added bonus, asparagus is naturally very low in calories, with just 27 calories per cup, but is also high in fiber and vitamin A.
