If you’ve been a fan of cream of asparagus soup, then this low-carb version will make your day. It’s rich, creamy, and loaded with wonderful asparagus flavor. We used xanthan gum to make the soup thicker and included celeriac to balance out the taste and for more aroma.

Tips & Tricks
Feel free to use heavy cream in place of half and half. This will create an even creamier soup and will also increase its calorie and fat count.
Use fresh, frozen, or canned asparagus – all options make for a flavorful soup.
Asparagus tips cook faster than the stalk. Stalks cook within 5-7 minutes, while the tips cook in 1-2 minutes. Also, add the tips after you’ve pureed the soup if you want more bite to it.
