How to Make Asparagus Parmesan Soup
- Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears and roughly chop.

- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times.
- Pour the blended soup into a medium saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese to your liking.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
