Asparagus and spinach go really well together and this delicious soup tastes great both hot and cold. I rarely use a specific recipe when I make soup. It's so easy to just make it with whatever you happen to have at home. This is my suggestion for a delicious asparagus and spinach soup that you can adapt to what you have available in your kitchen.

Instructions:

Cut the asparagus into smaller pieces. Remove the hard woody asparagus ends.
Finely chop garlic.
Sear asparagus and garlic in a little butter, add water and stock. Save a few asparagus stalks for garnish.
Boil until the asparagus is almost completely soft.
Add cream and spinach, cook for a few minutes until the spinach softens too.
Blend the soup and season with salt and pepper.

Serve the asparagus and spinach soup with some nice bread and garnish with pan-fried asparagus and roasted sunflower seeds.
