Longing for comfort food? This Spicy Asparagus Soup has you covered
We take full advantage of soup season in our home. The creamier the soup, the better it is received by my family. The trick to creating a thick, delicious soup is by starting the cooking process with creamy Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil. It cooks and deliciously flavors vegetables completely before pureeing. Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil is one of my favorite products to use for my creamy soup prep because it is made with 3 simple ingredients, sweet cream, canola oil and salt. Giving it the fresh butter taste we all love.
The wonderful thing about this “makes-my-belly-happy-soup” is that it can be prepared in under 25 minutes. It’s hearty without the heaviness, so delicious and only calls for few and fresh ingredients. If it makes my 10-year-old happy, then we are all happy. No complaints. It’s loaded with asparagus and a few serrano peppers if you long for a spicy kick at every spoonful. I usually make a separate kid-friendly version batch by omitting the Serrano peppers.

This tasty soups keeps well for up to four days in the refrigerator to enjoy during the week or to pack for an office lunch. But to be honest, it never lasts that long. It always disappears on the first day. It is THAT delicious. Pair it up with your favorite grilled sandwich, quesadilla, warm winter salad, roasted fish or chicken. It also makes a great main dish. Just top it with golden croutons and eat up!
