Oh I love Asparagus, this looks like a keeper!
This was a hit wth my family!
So glad you liked it =)
To say I was sceptical when I saw the ingredient list is an understatement. However, the combination of the ingredients makes the most creamy, full flavored cream of asparagus soup that could be considered restaurant quality! Made the soup exactly as it is written, with the exception of using 1 tsp. of lemon juice rather than a tablespoon. Definitely goingt o be on our spring dinner rotation!
