Creamy non-dairy soup rich with grilled asparagus flavor.
Okay, I admit it. This is not the prettiest asparagus soup in the world. It’s not. And I almost didn’t put it on the blog. Except. It’s pretty delicious. You can use fresh or frozen asparagus, a grill or grill pan… and it’s non-dairy, meeting just about every special diet need. So here you are. The photo is pretty, though, right? I love the delicate little thyme blossoms.

Isn’t that always the rub with food blogging…sometimes the best tasting things just are not super models! I always, always want them to be delicious, and a more homely appearance doesn’t deter me and my spoon. :)
So few ingredients but it sounds so flavorful! Just stumbled.
