How to make cauliflower asparagus soup?
The combination of cauliflower and asparagus is perfect for spring and summer. And these two vegetables pair perfectly in a soup.
Why roast vegetables for cream soups?
Flavor… Roasting brings out a lot more flavor than steaming or boiling them.
Growing up, I loved eating cauliflower. I often ate it raw.
My grandmother made awesome pickled cauliflower salad, recipe fro which is on the blog.
But we never made soup with cauliflower.
We made salads, stews, or ate it raw. Ever since I started using it in soups, it has turned into one of my favorite vegetables.
This Cauliflower Asparagus Soup is creamy, flavorful and perfect for the times, when you just want to try something different with your favorite vegetables.

My boyfriend is having his wisdom teeth removed this Friday, and I was planning on making him some cauliflower soup… But this looks so much better! I’ve gotta go hunt down some asparagus.
I am ALL about soup, no matter the temperature! I eat it at least once a week too, and I need to make it more often myself. This roasted cauliflower version looks fantastic, Mira! I love the asparagus in here, too!
We woke up to cooler temperatures today and it has me really wanting soup! I’ve never had a cauliflower soup before but this one sounds too delicious not to try.
Love the sound of a cauli and asparagus combo, Mira! Never seen that before.

I love that you roasted the veggies, here Mira! I agree, roasting amps up the flavor of veggies and it’s a perfect way to enjoy them.. especially in soup! Now that it’s cool down a bit, my oven is on a lot more too!
