I love when Spring arrives. The flowers are starting to bloom, the weather breaks, and a whole new line of vegetables start appearing in the store. Vegetables that are colorful, flavorful, and inspire you to try new recipes. Recipes like this Creamy Spring Vegetable Soup that I put together.

Light and creamy, this vegetable soup is perfect for this time of year. My goal was to make sure it wasn't too heavy, like a winter soup can be, but to also make sure it still had the comfort food type feel. Both of these goals were accomplished and I am thrilled to share this recipe with you.
For this recipe, I chose to roast all my veggies. It's not something you have to do, but I just love the flavors that come out from roasting and wanted to bring that into this vegetable soup.
It also makes it A LOT easier to cook them all at once together! And who doesn't like a shortcut right?
Have a bunch of leftover spring vegetables from a previous meal? Go ahead and use those! No need to roast a whole new batch! It will still taste great.
Don't feel like roasting? That's OK too. Just make sure the asparagus and carrots are cooked. Asparagus al dente and carrots till fork tender. You'll also want to saute your onions and garlic in some oil until they are cooked through also.

OK, well, I could be wrong, but I'm really thinking you will love this soup. As you can see, it's super easy to make and makes a beautiful looking dish.
In just under an hour, you will have a fantastic tasting dinner or side dish that any veggie lover will enjoy.
What's your favorite part of Spring? Is it the new vegetables or is it the change of weather?

Thanks for stopping by and happy cooking!
Avocado is the best in soups! It is still cold enough to be soup season around here looks great
ReplyDeleteThis looks light and refreshing! We just got snow here today so soup is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks delish! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis look like such a good recipe for Spring! Love the mixture of carrots and asparagus! Great way to incorporate some extra servings of vegetables into the day!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Between the look and the taste, it really does say Spring is here!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!
ReplyDeleteOh my! No snow here, but still loving this soup! Hope it thaws quickly for you!
ReplyDeleteI am actually using asparagus in this recipe, but avocado does sound good ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so pumped for Spring, for reasons like this recipe! Great way to showcase delicious veggies!
ReplyDeleteI love a good creamy soup - without the cream! And hooray for spring veggies!
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I need!! It's snowing here and I'm craving all the veggies. My mom bought a lot of asparagus for us this past weekend (good deal I guess?) and I left it up at their house on accident. I told them to put it in the freezer, it would probably work perfectly for this.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE making roasted vegetable pureed soups! In fact, I just made one for tonight with butternut, carrots, onions, and garlic. I like how you made the roux for this. I simply thickened my soup with soy milk. Definitely going to make this once all the spring produce is available!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy! LOVE that it is dairy free!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous, tasty soup! This really looks so delish-- I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteSounds so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! It really is quite yummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Julia!!! Thanks for the rating too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annmarie. I love to make new creamy soups dairy free! I can't find them out anywhere, so it's fun to make them at home.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina. Yes, the roux definitely comes in handy when making the soup thicker. It's become my go to for a good creamy soup.
