Creamy Roasted Asparagus Soup
I’m such a soup person, and you can tell by combing through my many soup recipes here on My Organized Chaos. This is especially true this time of year, when the evenings get chilly and the upcoming colder season is near.
Bring on the warm-up meals, and nothing quite soothes and comforts like a hot bowl of soup. Rather than opening up a can of pre-made, I need you to know just how easy a homemade soup is to make. Not only is it fresh and healthier, yet the flavours are outstanding.
This time of year is perfect for using up those cost-friendly seasonal vegetables. In fact, even those that aren’t at their freshest, yet the price is amazing – are the ones ideal for soup. Proof? Here’s a delicious recipe for Creamy Roasted Asparagus Soup!
How to Make Asparagus Soup
I started by roasting my asparagus for 12 minutes in olive oil, pepper and salt. Yet this step is completely optional, you can use fresh if you’d like and skip the roasting. Also, get creative with this recipe – add some garlic if you choose, for example.
I have two main tips {secrets} for this recipe:
– First, you can swap the asparagus for most vegetables if you’d like. Using this recipe you can make tomato soup, potato soup squash or even zucchini. I’m going to try my Thai Pumpkin and Coconut Soup recipe next, it’s that time of year that I start craving it!
– The next big bonus is that it’s completely made using a blender!

While this is a compensated post, as always, all opinions are my own.
Yet, not just any blender – I used the Breville Super Q. This 12-speed commercial grade blender {because of its highest possible motor rating} is designed for the home kitchen.
I’m pretty smitten with this product for a variety of reasons. It’s most likely the quietest blender I’ve used, and that’s important because with three kids and two pets – I don’t need amore noise thank you very much.
Also, it works so well! For making this soup for example, I simply added everything to the Super Q and hit the pre-programmed soup button. Not only did it blend like silk, but it’s also counted down, leaving seconds at the end for some stir slowing to remove steam bubbles.
The result was steaming hot soup, no cooking required.
Other one-touch programs include Pulse/Ice Crush, Smoothie {for dairy-based smoothies}, Green Smoothie {for blending whole fruits and vegetables}, and Frozen Dessert.
Looking through the included recipe book, I’m excited to try such a new variety of recipes. This powerful Super Q can even mill flour and ground spices. I’m a big fan of one-touch assistance though, as there’s no guessing with time or speed.
The Breville Super Q comes with an extra blade system and a personal blender cup with travel lid so you don’t have to use the full jug when not needed. Sometimes one of the kids likes to make a take a smoothie to school with them, so I know this will be used a lot soon.
The Vac Q Vacuum Pump is another accessory for the Breville Super Q. This attachment removes the air for smoother blends, brighter colours, and richer flavours.
The soup mode did remove most bubbles from the soup I made, plus I was eager to give it a taste. Next time I’ll give this attachment a try with a soup, to remove all the air and give that extra TLC.
For some blends like smoothies, you don’t a lot of air incorporated, yet I wouldn’t use this for blends like milkshakes, since you want that fluff as a result. Yet separation in my smoothies is a peeve of mine, so this attachment is genius! The Vac Q Vacuum Pump retails for $149.99, yet as of right now Super Q’s come with a coupon for a free one.
I’m going to be blending all the things thanks to the Super Q, and it doesn’t stop with soups. Yet really, what a bang-on intro, I must say. Immediately after making this, I literally scoured the fridge for more veggies to try another soup. Oh, carrots!
Nourishment yes, but using this super blender is so simple and effective to use. I might just be showing off and having fun too, at this point.

Hard to say…I love my smoothies, but I might try a soup first. Blenders have come a long way since I got mine 11 years ago! Time to upgrade?!
