Warm weather has finally graced us and it’s pure joy to step out these days to soak in the glory.Its also the time of the year when cooling foods and drinks are in order and the recipe I have for you today will do just that.A light refreshing Chilled Asparagus Soup might just be the perfect lunch with your Mom and cheer her up on Mother’s Day!

And yes, I said Chilled Asparagus Soup.For those of you who haven’t tried a chilled soup before let me tell you it tastes delicious!Smooth, rich and creamy,it cools you off while hydrating you at the same time.Give it a try.

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables and I just can’t seem to get enough of it during Spring. The soup comes together in minutes and I’ve flavored it with some ground coriander.I love adding ground coriander in my soups as you can see in my Carrot and Coriander and Cauliflower and Spinach Soups.I love the complex earthy undertone.I’ve used Chicken Broth but you could also use water or vegetable broth.Once slightly cooled puree in a blender and serve it with a dollop of sour cream and your favorite bread!Enjoy.
