Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Asparagus and Potato Soup.
Step 1
Begin by placing a large pot on the stove and adding chopped potatoes, chicken broth, diced onion, kosher salt, and a hint of ground nutmeg.
Step 2
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a vigorous boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot, allowing the potatoes to soften for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Next, introduce the frozen asparagus to the pot and bring the mixture back to a boil.
Step 5
After it bubbles again, reduce the heat once more, cover, and let it simmer until both the asparagus and potatoes are tender, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 6
Finally, stir in the heavy cream and whipped cream cheese, blending until the cheese melts into a luscious, creamy soup.
Step 7
Be careful not to let it boil after adding the cream, as you want to maintain that velvety texture.
Step 8
Enjoy this comforting dish that warms both the body and soul!.
