This is very yummy! Kids and husband loved it–I served it with a freshly baked loaf of bread. I also used an immersion blender after adding the steamed cauliflower and cheese just to make it smooth & frothy. Delicious!

Molly, thanks so much for the recipe. I might be able to get my kids to try asparagus with this soup. Sounds yummy!

Hi! I’ve been reading your blog now for a couple months and I just felt compelled to tell you that it is my favorite of all the ones I read. Thank you so much for your work. I thought I’d share an amazing soup recipe with you in case you like asparagus. I used a lower-fat plain cream cheese with some onion powder or dried onions and some chopped green onions. This soup is so good I made it again the very next day! Enjoy!

(Philadelphia Cream Cheese’s) Creamed Asparagus Soup:

* 4 Servings
* Prep/Total Time: 35 min

Ingredients

* 3 Tbsp. butter
* 1 leek, sliced
* 1 large clove garlic, minced
* 1 lb. fresh asparagus spears, each cut crosswise into thirds
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 cup water
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1/2 tsp. pepper
* 1/2 cup (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) Philadelphia® Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
* 1/4 cup milk

Directions

* Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add leeks; cook 5 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Add asparagus, broth and water; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper.
* Meanwhile, mix cream cheese spread and milk until well blended.
* Add asparagus mixture to blender, in batches; blend until smooth. Spoon into soup bowls.
* Add cream cheese mixture; swirl gently with spoon. Yield: 4 servings.

Special Extra: Garnish with additional asparagus tips just before serving.

Note: Soup is equally delicious served hot or chilled.

My wonderful husband doesn’t eat much without meat. I bet I could add cooked chicken to this soup to make him happy. This looks wonderful! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks, Tiffany! I hope you are recovering quickly from your surgery!
