Summer is fresh asparagus season and I love asparagus. I love it so much that I will even pay ridiculously high prices for it during the winter months. But during the summer when the prices are right I eat it all the time.

One of my favorite ways to eat fresh asparagus is to make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles.

If you need a quick dinner idea than this Garlic Pasta with Asparagus is the way to go. It only takes about 15 minutes from stove to table to make.

This cream of roasted asparagus soup uses my secret cream sauce recipe. Well, it's not really a secret recipe anymore. You will find it featured here on my blog in a number of creamy recipes that I have shared.

It is a basic cream sauce recipe my mother made. She would make it as a cream sauce for over vegetables like this Vegetable Medley with homemade cream sauce.

Over the years I tweaked it and came up with my Easy Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce recipe.

By the way this Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce recipe is the #1 recipe on Flour On My Face. It has been the #1 recipe for years and anyone who makes it loves it! Check out the comments from happy readers.

Then I started playing around with it and have used it to make all sorts of creamy recipes.

How to Roast Asparagus

The first thing you will need to do to make this Cream of Roasted Asparagus Soup is to roast the asparagus.

Roasting vegetables is pretty easy. You spread them out on a baking sheet, season them and drizzle some olive oil over them. Then you bake them until they are golden brown or charred.

It really depends on the flavor I am going for when it comes to roasting vegetables. For this roasted asparagus I wanted a light and mellow roasted flavor so I only roasted them for a short while.

Once you have roasted the asparagus, make the cream base for the soup, cooked the cream of asparagus soup until the asparagus is tender you will need to puree most of the asparagus soup ingredients to make the soup creamy.

Carefully place about ¾ of the hot vegetables with some of the cream sauce in a blender and pulse until smooth.

There will still be plenty of pieces of asparagus in the soup. If you want a totally creamy soup blend all the vegetable pieces. If you want a chunkier cream of asparagus soup only blend ½ of the vegetable pieces.

This Cream of Roasted Asparagus recipe is a great summer vegetarian recipe. It is packed full of flavors from the asparagus, cheese and cream sauce.
