FAQ

Cream Of Asparagus Soup Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you cant find fresh asparagus, try using frozen asparagus but make sure to thaw and drain it first
• You can swap the yellow onion with red onion or even shallots for a slightly different flavor
• If you dont have garlic cloves, use garlic powder instead but use less since its stronger
• Instead of low-sodium vegetable broth, you can use chicken broth or water mixed with a vegetable bouillon cube
• Heavy cream can be replaced with coconut cream or half & half if you’re after a lighter version

Pro Tips

1. Try to chop all the asparagus into roughly the same size so they cook evenly. It really helps in keeping your soup smooth and consistent.
2. Always be careful when adding the cream. If you let the soup boil after adding it, the cream might start curdling so keep the heat low.
3. For a little extra flavor, you can lightly roast the garlic or even the asparagus before adding them to the pot. It gives your soup a richer, deeper taste without much extra work.
