Asparagus Pea Soup
This creamy spring soup, courtesy of Au Bon Pain, is a delicious way to eat more seasonal vegetables. Petite peas give it a subtle sweetness that pairs nicely with the salty Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. A hint of fresh chives and a bit of heavy cream finish this silky soup perfectly, making it a welcome addition to any spring meal.
Blender Tortilla Soup

Carrot Cumin Soup
A root vegetable with origins in Asia, the carrot is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin A, minerals, and antioxidants. Carrots are one of the highest vegetable sources of vitamin A — two carrots yield roughly four times the recommended daily allowance. You will love this flavorful rendition of carrot soup.
Carrot, Sweet Potato, and White Bean Soup
Sweet potato is a healthy alternative to a regular white potato and provides a sweet taste. Combined with carrots, white beans, and aromatic spices such as cardamom, cumin, and coriander, the final product is a satisfying soup that is at once light, creamy, and wonderful for your health.

Parsnip Soup
The main stars of this soup, parsnips, are part of the parsley family. They provide folate, fiber, and phenolic acids, which may help reduce production of cancerous cells. They contain ample amounts of soluble fiber, which moderates fat and cholesterol absorption in the intestines, while diluting bile acids to prevent reflux.
