A friend of mine had gotten some advice to have asparagus the days before and after a vaccine shot, so I made this soup for us. I wasn’t sure how the kids would do with whole asparagus, but when a couple pieces hopped out of the pot, I had them, and they were SO amazing. Oh, well. Next time. But the soup was delicious, and I didn’t even grab a photo of it, because it was gone before I thought of it.
For this soup, I halved the recipe since I only had about 12 oz of asparagus. I made a couple other small changes:
–I added two carrots (in pieces) to the 12 oz of asparagus.
–I added a small bit of pre-cooked onions and mushrooms from last night’s dinner.
–I added a little bit of thyme at the end.
–We didn’t have heavy cream, so I used this substitute. (Except, in this case, just a quarter of this recipe.)
It tasted like spring! Yum!
