Broiled Garlic and Asparagus Soup – Deliciously rich, yet solid and simple to make soup with simmered garlic and asparagus.

Put that new asparagus to great use in this brilliant rich soup! Asparagus and garlic are broiled, pureed, and joined with half and half, or cream, and seasonings.

Everything we're doing here is tossing a lot of asparagus stalks and 10 garlic cloves into the broiler, at that point we puree the entirety of that in a blender, empty it into a pot, heat it awake for a few minutes and TA-DAAAAHM! Soup is served.
