Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus gives the soup the best flavor and texture, so avoid using canned or frozen asparagus if possible.
• Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, add less broth or simmer it longer before blending.
• Blend well: For a smooth texture, make sure to blend the soup completely without leaving chunks.
• Season carefully: Taste the soup before adding more salt or pepper. The seasoning can change as you add the cream and lemon juice.
• Make it lighter: For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based alternative like coconut milk.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the soup cool before storing it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, freeze the soup in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the soup on medium-low heat in a pot, stirring occasionally until hot.
