A delicious Garlic and Asparagus Soup from food storage! https://simplefamilypreparedness.com/garlic-asparagus-soup/

Asparagus is a favorite vegetable in our house.  My husband and I LOVE it, three of our four kids enjoy it, and one tolerates it.  That is a win in my book!  This Creamy Garlic and Asparagus soup recipe was a hit.  The original recipe can be found on page 26 of Our Best Bites Savoring the Seasons cookbook.  I simply converted it to work with 100% shelf stable ingredients.  That way, I can shop my “home store” instead of the grocery store and enjoy this delicious soup anytime: even when asparagus is too expensive to buy!

Gather your ingredients.

Add butter powder, flour, bouillon, and garlic powder to pot over medium high heat.

    I don’t have the béchamel powder. Would flour work as a substitute?

      No, but equal parts cornstarch and water should. It will thicken the soup, but not add the flavor the bechamel would.
