Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Asparagus Cauliflower Soup.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped garlic and sauté it for about a minute, just until it releases a delightful aroma that fills your kitchen.

Next, pour in the chicken broth and add the cauliflower florets, along with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Bring this vibrant mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low.

Let it cook for around 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and ready to blend into a creamy delight.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to introduce the chopped asparagus to the pot.
Step 7
Crank up the heat to high and cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, allowing the asparagus to become tender while retaining its beautiful bright green color.

Once everything is cooked to perfection, grab your immersion blender and blend the soup until it’s silky smooth.

Take a moment to taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and black pepper if needed.
