Description

This asparagus velvet soup is a true spring comfort food! The sweetness of fresh asparagus blends perfectly with the creaminess of ricotta and the crunchiness of almonds. I often prepare it when I want a light but tasty dish, perfect as an appetizer or even as a main course for a quick dinner. The recipe is very simple and with the Thermomix it is prepared in a flash! A tip? Serve it with homemade bread croutons for an extra touch. It is an excellent vegetarian option, rich in vitamins and with a delicate flavor. Try it, you won't regret it!
