Dig in and enjoy a bowl of this delicious Syn Free Asparagus Soup which feels indulgent and creamy but is made from the simplest of ingredients.
One of my favourite soups of all time has got to be cream of asparagus soup. In fact just talking about it right now is making me crave a bowl.
There is just something super comforting about asparagus soup, mainly because it brings back many childhood memories for me.
Do you remember the little packets of powdered cream of asparagus soups you use to get, that came with a little sachet of croutons? Actually you probably can still get those now, I've never seen this on this side of the Atlantic however and besides, I prefer to make my soups from scratch using healthy fresh vegetables.
You truly will not believe how simple the ingredients in this soup are, yet it comes packed with flavour. It's not always true that for a recipe to be delicious it has to have heaps of ingredients, sometimes too many ingredients can overpower and confuse a recipe and that is certainly not the case here.
A subtle sweetness from the asparagus paired with onions and some thyme is pretty much the only flavours you need in this Asparagus Soup.
Serve it just as it is, or add a bit of protein, so many different choices would go perfectly on the top of this, from sauteed sausage to poached eggs or my favourite some cooked seasoned chicken. If you have a healthy extra b spare you could even go for some of this Gluten-Free Soda Bread - heavenly!!
