This Light and Creamy Asparagus Soup from aspicyperspective has so much going for it: asparagus for spring, warm comforting soup for the lingering chill, and crispy bacon bits for happiness.

Sommer is a cooking instructor and food writer who blogs at A Spicy Perspective. She’s based in Asheville, North Carolina, and if you check out her original blog post, you’ll find some interesting tidbits about asparagus. (No, Sommer, I did not know asparagus can grow up to a foot in a single day. That’s crazy!)

Best of all, it’s a guilt-free kind of creamy soup, courtesy of the white beans.

Thanks for sharing this delicious-looking recipe, Sommer!
