It's gloomy and rainy outside, the weather is telling me to share this extra velvety cream of asparagus soup with milk (and NO heavy cream!)<\/p>\n

I hear you saying 'Oh no, I would never eat soup in Spring!'. <\/em>Well, you know what the best thing is? This velvety creamy asparagus soup is amazing both warm or cold! Literally, the perfect spring dish.<\/u><\/b> What more could you ask for?
If you're still skeptical, I'm here to change your mind!<\/p>\n\n\n

Cream of asparagus soup with milk and NO heavy cream at all...<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this point, I think that I'm synchronized with the weather, you know. As I'm writing this, it's gloomy and rainy outside. Definitely not spring-like, uh? Seems like Fall here, the perfect weather for this soup. Don't worry though, as I mentioned above, this will be amazing <\/strong>both cold or warm.
Despite the weather, I like to call this \"Spring soup\"<\/em> because the flavors are so springlike. I mean, asparagus<\/strong> is a byword for Spring, <\/strong>right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I talked about them last year, on my friend Gina's blog,<\/strong><\/a> when I shared an amazing Asparagus pesto pasta (btw, go check it out!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food brings back such good memories. I live in Northern Italy, in a small town in the province of Vicenza (region of Veneto, the same as Venice, to be clear).<\/em><\/p>

In this area, we grow an amazing asparagus variety \u2013 from Bassano del Grappa \u2013 that my mom always buys to make a wonderful risotto: they\u2019re big and white, basically because they are never exposed to sunlight (check this still life by painter Francois Bonvin<\/strong><\/a>!).
My town and Bassano del Grappa are just 35\/40 km distant and, when Spring begins, you'll start noticing all these vendors with their little trucks that start to pop up on the roadside from my town to Bassano. In fact, the vendors sell these big white asparagus I just mentioned!<\/em><\/p>

Asparagus always brings back this memory, I love how food can do this!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Memories aside, I absolutely love how this simple soup turned out. I tested it several times before posting and my taste tester - a.k.a boyfriend - loved it too! You can trust him! \ud83d\ude09
The soup has a perfect balanced flavor, not too strong, not too delicate<\/strong>. You can taste the asparagus but it is not dominant and potatoes give a wonderful touch to the texture.
Plus, there's just a drizzle (well, 200 gr) of milk and no heavy cream at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion: if you're looking for something yummy, creamy, extremely healthy and versatile,<\/strong> then run to your fridge and grab all the ingredients to make this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
