Spring is here and with that up pops the asparagus. Super simple and quick to make, this soup packs the nutrition too.
Made with fresh veggies and blended with chicken broth and cashews for a creamy texture and healthy fats gives it thumbs up. Blending nuts into soup is one of my favorite ways to add a bit of creaminess without dairy. If you’re looking to spice this up a bit, try adding some red pepper flakes or minced ginger. And if you’d like a little zing, try squeezing some fresh lemon into your soup.
