    Tips & Tricks

    Freeze It

    Since there’s no cream or milk in this asparagus soup, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Once you’re ready to serve it, just reheat it on the stovetop. 

    Add Lemon Last

    Make sure you add the lemon juice at the end, or else the soup might turn out tasting a bit bitter. 

    Serve Hot or Cold

    The great thing about asparagus soup is that it can be served hot or cold. 

    If you plan to eat the leftovers the next day, then you can just eat it after it’s been cooled in the fridge. 

    Variations

    Non-Dairy Toppings

    Asparagus soup is typically topped with heavy cream or cheese. But you can easily use vegan toppings!

    You can top your soup with vegan parmesan cheese or vegan sour cream, along with a crack of pepper.

     Veggie Toppings

    Another great option is to top your soup with roasted carrot slices. 

    Just use a sharp knife to slice diagonally through a carrot so that you have long, thin pieces of carrot. Drizzle them with melted butter and minced garlic, and pop them in the oven. 

    Once your soup is done, add the carrots on top, or eat them on the side. 

    You can also add parsley or chopped up chives to garnish your soup.

    Serve With Bread

    If you love bread, then you can add croutons to top off your soup or serve it with a side of garlic bread. 

    To make your own croutons, cut a loaf of bread into small cubes. Drizzle them with olive oil, and then add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then place the bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Put them into the oven at 375°F for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. 

    Let them cool completely before adding them to your soup. 

    Make it Spicy

    If you like your soup spicy, add chili flakes or red pepper flakes. These are basically just dried chili peppers, so feel free to use fresh chili peppers if you want an extra hot kick to your soup.

    Add Rice

    If you want to make a heartier soup, just add rice. Cook the rice separately and add it in after the soup is blended, or blend the rice in with the soup to make the soup thicker.
