Light Cream of Asparagus Soup

Imagine my surprise when I was strolling in the the produce section of the grocery store and found some mighty nice looking asparagus for a crazy $1.99 per pound.  I snapped up three pounds without even thinking about it. Two pounds to make this satisfying soup and another pound – well, that’s yet to be determined.

I went to a favorite recipe source and started looking up Cream of Asparagus Soup since I’ve never made it before.  I wanted a recipe that looked fairly easy. Nothing too weird. And reasonably healthy.  After all, if you can’t be healthy eating soup, when can you be healthy? A soup like this makes a great light supper for a quiet evening at home in-between all the rich buffets and holiday dinners.
