This fun twist on a classic asparagus soup uses cheese and milk to achieve an unbelievably creamy and thick texture.
Change out the thyme with your own favorite spice – sumac or a bit of lemon zest would give this soup a bright, fresh flavor while cayenne pepper and some crushed chili flakes would spice things up a bit.
