Low Carb Ginger Asparagus Soup

Just a few simple ingredients is all it takes to make this Low Carb Ginger Asparagus Soup we have been enjoying for years. Its a favourite in my house during the start of spring.

The warmth from the ginger and the freshness of spring time asparagus are the perfect soup for those cooler nights.

Although you will find asparagus all year it will be at it's peak in spring. There are many ways to use asparagus and my favourite is usually grilling it on the bbq with a nice steak during the summer months.

However, during the cooler temps I enjoy it in this creamy soup. I prefer it with ginger for that extra zip and flavour.

Will my Low Carb Ginger Asparagus Soup be stringy?

You have to boil it until tender and then blend it really well to avoid and stringy asparagus. I normally cut into 1" pieces and boil for a good 15 minutes.

I then use an immersion blender to get the asparagus nice and smooth. You can also cool it down and blitz in a regular blender but I prefer the immersion blender.

How long does Low Carb Ginger Asparagus Soup last in the fridge?

Store in an airtight container and it could last in the fridge up to 4 to 5 days. Alternatively you could store it in the freezer up to a month.

Do I throw out the Asparagus Ends?

You can use the ends in this soup if they are not too tough. Since we are boiling them down and then blending them, they should work in this soup.

Can I Eat Asparagus Raw?

Asparagus can be eaten raw. However, due to it's tough stalks it is best to eat them cooked. I have sliced raw asparagus really thin and marinated them in vinegar to add to a salad.
