Ina Garten Asparagus Soup Recipe

Ina Garten's cream of asparagus soup has always been a favorite of mine for its simplicity and undeniable depth of flavor.
The blend of fresh asparagus, creamy texture, and a hint of garlic makes it great to go with so many meals.
What's more, it achieves such a rich taste with just a few ingredients.
Make sure to sauté the asparagus until it turns bright green to get the best of this unique veggie!
