Instant Creamy Asparagus Soup
Ingredient Notes
- Milk—using non-fat milk makes this shelf-stable for longer, but you can use any dried milk alternative that you’d like. You can also just add heavy cream to the pot when making this fresh and leave out the powdered milk.
- Arrowroot powder (I use this brand of arrowroot powder from Amazon). This works as a thickening agent, but you can substitute corn starch or other thickeners of your choosing.
- Instant chicken bouillon – you can use vegetable bouillon, instead.
- Asparagus powder — You can use whole dehydrated asparagus pieces, or a mixture of both.
- Add extra dehydrated vegetables — I like adding dried, shredded carrots to the mixture.
Darcy’s Tips
- To make this go a little faster, you can soak the asparagus pieces in the refrigerator in the broth/water before creating the soup.
- Alternatively, cook the soup with fresh asparagus minus the milk. Dehydrate soup using lipped fruit leather sheets, then powder. This will make a more ‘instant’ soup when rehydrated.
- This meal serves four.

Nutrition
Nutritional information is an estimation only. Nutrient information for dehydrated foods is based on fresh. Use 1/4 of the servicing size for the same nutrient information. Thus 1 Cup of fresh fruit has the same sugars as 1/4 dried.
