This soup was a bit too rich for my taste. I would probably use less cream next time.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but this soup was actually really good. The creaminess of the soup balanced out the bitterness of the asparagus.

This soup was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of the cream and Parmesan cheese made it so rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
