recipe reviews for:

Asparagus Soup in Seconds

“Hands down, the easiest, quickest, most delicious asparagus soup. Just add a can of blended asparagus to a can of chicken broth, a little salt and pepper, and you have a wonderful accompaniment to any meal, or even as a main course since it is hard to put down! A little milk and butter are included in this recipe for added richness, but it can definitely stand on it's own without them.”

Wow! I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. The only thing I added was a thin ring of yellow onion, diced and pureed with asparagus. Very, very good.

Really good! Much better than I was expecting, actually, considering the simplicity of the ingredients. I only used 1 cup chicken broth and mixed in some salt, pepper, and dill - YUM.

I crave this stuff - I used only half the broth and added a tablespoon of dried green onions and I was on my way to heaven!

I reduced the broth down by about 1/3 before adding everything else - I used low sodium chicken broth. Then top with a little fresh lemon juice at the end.

Very easy and delicious recipe. I just added 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp of onion powder and 1/8 tsp salt. I used 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of chicken broth and a little olive oil instead of butter. I garnished it with chopped fresh chives on top. You might want to double the recipe. It just yields exactly 4 servings.

I made this soup using frozen organic asparagus spears and two chicken bouillon cubes instead of the canned soup. Omitted the salt, but it still ended up being too salty from the bullion. I liked the recipe, but it didn't wow me. I would give it a 3 for taste and a 5 for convenience.

I'm giving this a 4* although its very good and I will make again. It was very easy and quick to make. I did change some things--I only used 1 cup chicken broth and I used 1/2 cup evaporated milk. I microwaved 4 freshed chopped asparagus and added --we liked it and I would say it is 2 cereal bowls or 4 small servings.

Many times have I whipped up a batch of this simple, yet surprisingly elegant soup. Mostly I like to eat it as a "pick me up" on days when I am feeling low.

This was awful. It smelled terrible and was a sickly shade of green. I made it with the optional milk and butter and, even then, it was WAY too thin to be a standalone soup. I think that our leftovers (there were PLENTY) will be used as the cooking liquid for rice or something.

Very good and very fast! Instead of the chicken broth, I added two small chicken bouillon cubes and 1/2 cup of water. (I omitted the salt because of the bouillon.) In addition, I included the optional milk and butter. To make the soup more hearty, I stirred in 1/2 cup of instant rice and simmered it in the soup for 10 minutes. For a delicious garnish, I topped it with a tablespoon of light sour cream. Fantastic results! Even my kids loved it!

I give this 5 stars for simplicity, and 4 stars for taste. I perfer a thicker soup, so next time I do this I will use two cans of asparagus. I used whole milk to give it a creamier texture. So easy!

Thank you for an easy way to have asparagus soup! I'm the only one who eats it, and the other way isn't worth the trouble for just me. I used only a splash of ck broth, due to comments regarding the thinness, and also stirred in some sour cream to give it extra creaminess. I borrowed a couple other ideas for extra flavor, and added splashes of lemon juice and soy cauce, plus sprinkled in a little dill weed and onion salt. This was an easy fix to a major craving!
