CREAMY ASPARAGUS AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP
This delicious bowl of soup, despite being dairy-free, looks and feels pretty creamy. We have cauliflower to thank for that. The soup looks like a classic cream of asparagus, and your eyes will fool your palate to a certain extent. In addition to giving it a nice color, the bumpy superfood cauliflower provides a smoother texture to the soup than the less-starchy asparagus could achieve alone.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir chicken broth, cauliflower, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into garlic.

- Stir 2 pounds asparagus into cauliflower mixture and increase heat to high. Cook until asparagus is tender but still bright green, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Blend soup with an immersion blender until smooth; season with salt and black pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with flower petals and diced asparagus tips.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP
Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus and saute another 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until asparagus is very tender. *Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan, stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls. Dust with paprika and serve.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Steps:
- Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
- Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
- Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
- You will love everything about this.
CREAMY CAULIFLOWER POBLANO SOUP
Making soup is a snap when you start with pre-cooked vegetables. This flavorful lunch or dinner option takes less than a half hour, thanks to a few cups of steamed cauliflower (see our Meal Prep Steamed Vegetables recipe). An immersion blender eliminates the need to puree in batches, getting your meal on the table even faster.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring often, until totally softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the coriander and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the cauliflower, milk, 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cauliflower is very soft, about 8 minutes. The milk might curdle or separate, but don't worry- it will smooth out once you puree it.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree in batches until completely smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to puree. Return the soup to the pot and adjust the thickness to the desired consistency with water and season to taste. Serve topped with sour cream and chips with hot sauce and limes on the side.

- Stir in the chopped asparagus and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the asparagus mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the asparagus soup. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL
This soup turns a short list of vegan ingredients into a sublimely silky soup. Infusing olive oil with fresh rosemary is a trick you'll want to keep up your sleeve: The results are delicious brushed on roast chicken, drizzled over roasted winter vegetables or even just sopped up with a nice piece of bread. The croutons here are optional, but they transform an elegant and delicate first-course soup into a satisfying lunch.

Steps:
- Make the rosemary oil: In a medium skillet, combine the olive oil and rosemary sprigs. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, lowering the heat if the oil reaches a full simmer. (You want to cook it at a very gentle simmer to avoid frying the rosemary.) Carefully pour the oil and rosemary into a small bowl, leaving a slick of oil in the pan if you plan to make croutons. Allow the rosemary to cool completely in the oil while you make the soup.
- Make the soup: In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (Be careful not to let the garlic scorch!)
- Add the stock, cauliflower, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the optional croutons: Heat the reserved skillet with the residual rosemary oil over medium. Add the bread cubes, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing often, until toasted all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the croutons to a plate or board to cool.
- Strain and discard the rosemary stems from the rosemary oil. Working in batches if necessary, carefully transfer the vegetables, stock and 1/4 cup rosemary oil to a blender and blend on high until creamy. Add more rosemary oil to taste, and blend to combine. Return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer. If the soup seems thin, let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce slightly. (Remember: The soup will continue to thicken as it cools.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot. Garnish each serving with a swirl of rosemary oil, a few croutons, and a sprinkle of lemon zest. The soup will thicken as it sits; add more stock as necessary when reheating. Leftover rosemary oil will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS CHOWDER
This is from Shirley Beachum of Shelby Michigan. She writes, "While this soup's good with fresh asparagus, it can also be prepared with frozen or canned. In fact, I like to blanch and freeze asparagus in portions just right for this recipe--that way, I can make our favorite chowder all year."

CREAMY HAM AND ASPARAGUS SOUP
A great dish for using up that leftover ham. This comes from TOH Country Soups and Stews 1999 by Maurine Kent of Texas. I have adapted slightly by adding swiss cheese and dill which I have shown as optional ingredients. This is really good soup, you will enjoy it.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH MUSHROOMS
This is from one of my Food and Wine cookbooks. It is very easy to make and freezes well. Feel free to omit the mushrooms if you want. Make a big batch of this when asparagus is in season and freeze individual servings of it. YUM!

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP
That's why I love soup. You can do almost anything with them. If you want this soup heartier, set aside some chunked, cooked veggies. Then add them back to the pot with the pureed veggies.
