Ingredients

– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. 1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
2. 2. Add the chopped asparagus to the pot and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3. 3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.

Notes
For a thicker consistency, you can blend a portion of the soup and leave the rest chunky. You can also experiment with different garnishes, such as crumbled bacon or chopped chives.
