Cream of Asparagus Soup

This cream of asparagus soup is a deliciously pretty soup.  I really love the green color!  This soup is a bit different than others.  Even though it's  a cream soup, it is not heavy.  It also doesn't have a bold flavor.  That doesn't mean it's bland by any means, it is just lighter and subtly delicious.  I highly recommend it for a lunch soup or a first course or a side to your dinner.

Asparagus pieces and onions lightly sauteing.

This asparagus soup is simple to prepare.  In the pot above I've melted a stick of butter to lightly saute' the asparagus and onions in.  As you can see the pieces of asparagus and onions are not uniformly chopped or cut.  Since you will be pureeing the soup there is no need to make sure they are cut pretty.  After lightly sauteing the asparagus and onions stir in the flour making the mixture a little pasty.  Stir in the chicken broth a bit at a time stirring until smooth after each addition.  Simmer for 15-20 minutes to cook the asparagus all the way through.  Pour it into a blender and puree until smooth.  Return to the pot and add the half and half.  Heat the cream of asparagus soup up until hot all the way through but don't allow it to boil.  Remove from the heat and serve!

      Half and half has 10-12% more fat than milk but less fat than light cream. It’s usually found next to the coffee creamers and whipping creams.
