CREAMY ASPARAGUS CHOWDER
Although this soup is best when made with fresh asparagus, you can use frozen or canned. I like to blanch and freeze asparagus in portions just right for this recipe so I can make our favorite chowder all year. —Shirley Beachum, Shelby, Michigan

CREAMY ASPARAGUS AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP
This delicious bowl of soup, despite being dairy-free, looks and feels pretty creamy. We have cauliflower to thank for that. The soup looks like a classic cream of asparagus, and your eyes will fool your palate to a certain extent. In addition to giving it a nice color, the bumpy superfood cauliflower provides a smoother texture to the soup than the less-starchy asparagus could achieve alone.

- Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Choose a sharp cheddar cheese that is well-aged.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
