One of the world’s healthiest foods, asparagus is both succulent and tender and have been considered a delicacy since ancient times. This anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant beneficial ingredient, makes a terrific soup. You can use more asparagus if you like a stronger flavor. For thicker soup, reduce the amount of heavy cream.
Directions
1. Place broth, cauliflower and onions in a soup pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 8 minutes. Add asparagus and cook for an additional 3 minutes until all vegetables are tender.
3. Remove four pieces of asparagus for garnish, then place ingredients in a blender with heavy cream (in batches if necessary) and blend for about 1 minute or until desired consistency.
4. Pour into bowls and garnish low fat yogurt, cracked black pepper and a piece of asparagus on top. Or you could garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
