This recipe for Creamy Asparagus Soup is the best use of fresh asparagus! Silky smooth, rich, and tangy, it is absolutely wonderful and so easy to make!

My friend Alicia and I had one of those rare moments when our kids were little, where they were content to play with rocks and dirt after school, and didn’t feel the need to share their findings every two seconds. So we were able to actually have a conversation. It lasted a glorious 45 minutes. She mentioned this Creamy Asparagus Soup and I think I blanked out for a moment, dreaming about it.

That was so many years ago, and I’ve since made it countless times. It never disappoints and is truly something I crave.

Asparagus Soup

Asparagus is one of my all time favorite green vegetables – put a pan of oven roasted asparagus in front of me and I am set! I love it so much, I can’t understand how anyone doesn’t.

If you’re like me and enjoy asparagus every which way you can get it, you will love this soup to the moon and back. Thick, creamy, and tangy, this asparagus soup recipe is like butter on your tongue. The asparagus flavor is apparent, obviously, but not over-powering. It’s rich enough to be a light lunch or dinner, but also a lovely appetizer. Just really incredible and so pretty!

2. Place mixture in a blender and puree until smooth.

6. Whisk yogurt into the mixture, followed by lemon juice. Stir until heated through.

How To Store Asparagus Soup

How long does Asparagus soup last in the fridge? Cool completely to room temperature, then store in a tightly sealed container up to 3 days.
Can you freeze Asparagus soup? Because of the dairy in this Asparagus souprecipe, it doesn’t freeze well. Once thawed, it separates and has a grainy texture. If you must freeze it, I recommend doing so before adding the cream or Greek yogurt. Once thawed, reheat with those items. before serving.
