This is guaranteed to be the silkiest and creamiest one-pot asparagus soup you could possibly make for a summer soiree. It comes to us from the French Brasserie, Baur’s, in the famed Baur au Lac Zurich hotel. It’s a decadent way to incorporate more vegetables into your life, and if you can’t find white asparagus, why not use green? It’s not as delicately flavored but would still make an impressive soup in a gorgeous shade of celadon.
