Add asparagus to a high sided sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper.
Roast until the stalks are soft but not mushy, about 12 minutes.
Add asparagus stalks to a high powered blender and pour in vegetable stock. Start on the lowest speed and work your way up to the top speed. Blend until smooth and hot, about 6 minutes.
Lower speed and add in heavy cream.
Blend for 30 seconds just to help incorporate the dairy.
Serve warm.
Notes
You can use chicken stock for a richer flavor. Almond milk or half and half can be used in place of heavy cream. I used a Vitamix high-speed blender which will keep the soup hot while blending. If you do not own a high-speed blender puree the soup and re-heat in a soup pot.
