Asparagus Soup
Notes/ Precautions
Trim smartly – Only remove the woody bottom ends of asparagus; the rest is tender and flavorful.
Cool before blending – Always let hot soup cool slightly before blending to prevent pressure build-up in the blender.
Butter matters – Homemade butter enhances flavor, but you can substitute with olive oil or ghee
For extra creaminess – Add a splash of coconut cream or milk while blending (optional)
