    Cream of Asparagus Soup Recipe

    Why eat asparagus? Well, firstly, it is absolutely delicious, even if it is an acquired taste. Secondly, there are so many health benefits to this fabulous spring vegetable! 

    Asparagus is a nutrient-packed vegetable. It is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells.

    It's one of the top ranked fruits and vegetables for its ability to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals. This may help slow the aging process and reduce inflammation. Another anti-aging property of this delicious spring veggie is that it may help our brains fight cognitive decline.

    Like leafy greens, asparagus delivers folate, which works with vitamin B12-found in fish, poultry, meat and dairy-to help prevent cognitive impairment.

    In a study from Tufts University, older adults with healthy levels of folate and B12 performed better on a test of response speed and mental flexibility. 

    In addition to all those vitamins, 1 cup of cooked asparagus has 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium.

    Cream of Asparagus Soup Recipe Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • ½ cup onion, chopped
    • ½ cup celery, chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves minced
    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    Cream of Asparagus Soup Recipe

    In a large pot, add 2 tablespoons butter, chopped onion, garlic and celery.

    Cook over medium heat till onions start to turn translucent (normally 4-5 minutes). 

    Add chicken broth, stir and bring  to a boil.  Boil over medium heat for about 10 minutes or till celery is nice and tender.  

    Add flour to the milk, make sure there are no lumps and stir flour and milk into the chicken broth. Stir so the milk will not scorch,  as it comes back to a boil it will start to thicken, take of heat.
