A dry soup mix with milk powder, bouillon, herbs and asparagus. Stir it into boiling water or broth and simmer for a creamy asparagus soup.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup non-fat dry milk (non-fat milk keeps the mix shelf-stable longer)
  • 1/8 cup arrowroot powder (cornstarch can be substituted)
  • 1/8 cup instant chicken bouillon (vegetable bouillon works too)
  • 1/4 tsp dried onion flakes
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Asparagus: either 1/3 cup asparagus powder, or 1 cup dehydrated asparagus pieces

Directions

  • Heat 4 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Stir in the mix.
  • Simmer until the powders dissolve and the asparagus pieces are soft and cooked through (about 5 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook).

Notes

Dried shredded carrots can be added. Soaking the asparagus pieces in the broth in the refrigerator beforehand speeds up cooking. For a more instant soup, leave out the milk powder, dry the soup on a fruit leather sheet, grind to powder, and add the milk powder afterward. Serve topped with thinned sour cream or crema.
Safety: milk powder can go stale or rancid; keep the mix fully dry.
