              Delicious! Easy to make. I used Better Than Vegetable Bouillon, no additional salt & pepper needed.

                Great soup easy to make. Add a slice of bacon for some extra flavor.

                  My wife gave me an advice to add one quarter cup of Kirkland bleached almond flour, it has improved the texture became really yummy for the whole family. Great recipe! For soup fans

                    Probably with the butter to make it a roux.

                  This is such a nice flavoured soup!! Next time I will definitely be making double so I can freeze it. Had to add a little cornflower to thicken but tastes fantastic! Great recipe!

                      Thanx for the tips GennyMac. I too have sodium concerns

                        I save the hard fibrous ends from my asparagus and freeze them. When I make this I put them into a pot of 2 cups salted water, simmer until they are cooked through, about 20 - 30 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by half. I then use my blender to puree this and strain out all the fibers. That is the stock I begin with rather than using store bought because of sodium concerns. The flavor is much brighter and deep. I also add a bit of tarragon to the sauteed veggies before the final blending. No carbs, no sodium, and a great flavor enhancement.

                            Little salty, my error. I won’t add salt as I felt the stock was salty enough. Personal preference. The recipe is great. Tasty, easy and I really enjoyed it.

                            There are different kinds of heavy creams, ones with 3 carbs per 100g and ones with 6 carbs/100g. I wonder what kind is used in this receipe.

                              Can this be frozen into separate meals then microwaves when needed

                              Delish! A great way to use up the large pkg of Costco asparagus before it spoils. Husband and I loved this. We used chicken broth and dehydrated onion. Easy!

                              I use quite a bit more asparagus, chicken stock instead of vegetable, shallot (cause I dont usually have onion) and a few ounce of cream cheese. Blended up in my Vitamix, it comes out amazing!

                                Thanks for the cream cheese suggestion, the soup is kind of thin, maybe I added too much broth? The cream cheese will thicken it a little.
