This creamy, sippable soup is a breeze to make: Simply microwave asparagus, cauliflower rice, and scallion until tender, then blend with the remaining ingredients—no soup pot needed. The cauliflower rice helps the soup achieve a creamy texture without any cream, and a bit of fresh parsley in the blender keeps the colour vibrant green. Enjoy the soup warm straight from the blender, at room temperature, or chilled; it’s delicious all three ways. The serving size is generous for a shooter (½ cup) and works perfectly in small jars or ramekins.

Ingredients

Asparagus

1½ cup(s), cut into 2-inch pieces

Uncooked cauliflower rice

Kosher salt

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ tsp(s)

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

2 tbsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Place the asparagus, cauliflower rice, and scallion in a medium microwave-safe bowl; drizzle with 2 tbsp water. Cover and microwave on High for 3 minutes or until tender. Reserve 4 asparagus tips for garnish.
  2. Transfer the remaining vegetable mixture to a blender. Add the broth, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
