Notes

  • Use an immersion blender for best results, but you can also do this in small batches in your blender.
  • Buy fresh asparagus and I would suggest going for smaller spears.
  • To lighten the recipe, you could substitute whole, 2%, or skim milk for the heavy cream.
  • Use fresh asparagus for the best results.
  • Use homemade or low sodium vegetable broth to reduce salt.
