Recipe Description
Asparagus is my absolute favorite vegetable and it is so cheap in the Spring – you can usually find it for as low as $1.99 per pound! This creamy asparagus and pea soup is so easy to make and delicious served hot or cold! The baked asparagus gives this soup an incredible depth of flavor! The herbed croutons take just a few minutes to make and can easily be customized to your liking!
