What to serve with asparagus soup

We love this soup with a thick slice of buttered Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread. But when we're not doing the classic soup and bread combo, these are some of our favorite things to put on top of the soup:

• Crispy crumbled bacon (YES!)
• Sour cream or plain yogurt
• Parmesan cheese
• A drizzle of lemon oil
• Or a squeeze of lemon juice
• Croutons – bonus points if they're cheesy croutons

Can you freeze asparagus soup

Yes! Asparagus soup freezes very well. Simply let the soup cool then pour it into bags. For freezing soups, like love these big reusable Stacher freezer bags.
