This soup is so easy to make and it is one of the most delicious of it’s kind…I love all kinds of Creamed Soups…but, the Asparagus Creamed Soup is definitely my favorite…!!! There is no pureeing, and no straining of it’s fibers! Just put the cooked pieces of Asparagus with it’s chicken broth into a blender…and let it “zip” to chopp it up !!!
The recipe is below…and hopefully many of you will make it and enjoy it! It is also wonderful in the Winter searved warm with a toast…or cold in the Summer with some home made scones… It is also the best medicine when you are suffering from a cold!!! It definitely works for me…it probably is the chicken broth in it…but the chicken broth has a better flavor with the pureed Asparagus in it!!! “Try it you will love it!!”

1 bunch fresh Asparagus
1 cup of Chicken Stock…..
1 cup of Heavy Cream
Salt and Pepper to taste
Wash and clean the Asparagus and break the ends off each stalk.
Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside.
Place the Asparagus into a pot and add enough water to cover.
Heat and boil the Asparagus until very soft.
Immediately transfer the Asparagus into the ice bath and let them cool in the iced water.
This is important …it retains the color of the Asparagus!
Cut the Asparagus into small chunks and place them into the food processor or blender.
Add the milk and or chicken stock.
Process until pureed.
Do this in a few batches, and transfer the puree into a soup pot.
Add the salt and pepper.
Add the heavy cream
Let the soup boil up for a minute or so, adjust the salt and serve.
Serve Frikaellen Crepe Noodles or with toast points or assorted breads.
Serves 4
Note……..This recipe can be doubled or tripled! It also can be prepared a day before and kept overnight in the refrigerator.
I often freeze just to have it on hand when I feel to have soup…warm in the Winter and Cold in the Summer!
