Our asparagus is growing fast right now, I have froze some but love eating it when it is fresh. I like asparagus about any way I can cook it. I have been craving Cream of Asparagus soup for a while now, tonight was the night.
I have a Vitamix Blender that I love. This recipe was so easy and didn't take very long to make.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
The picture is my own picture of my soup but the recipe is courtesy Vitamix, I did make a change with the chicken broth, I used Watkins Chicken Soup Base since I am an Independent Watkins Associate.
