Juicy and succulent asparagus is a delicacy that Mother Nature confers on us in the vibrant spring season. If it has caught your attention too, and you are wondering how to cook it, here is a fabulous Cream of Asparagus Soup, which is sure to steal everybody’s heart with its aesthetic flavour and pampering creaminess.

Onions and pepper complement the exotic flavour of asparagus beautifully, while potatoes and cream help to balance the flavour and make the soup thick and luscious. Serve this soup fresh and hot, as it tends to thicken upon cooling as most thick soups do.

Serve toped with Cheese Croutons and a complimentary dish like Jacket Potatoes with Broccoli and Red Pepper and Parsley and Garlic Loaf .
