This is very tasty. I added about 3-4 tbsp. of white cooking wine to enhance the soup's flavor, and since I didn't have white pepper on hand, I used the standard black pepper. I also used approx. 1/4 cup of half-n-half (in lieu of some of the milk) to give it a rich texture. The end result was fabulous. Hubby and even my baby daughter (she had about 2 spoonfuls) really enjoyed it!

A home run!

Made this last night--very good! Put in 2/3s the milk and used chicken stock instead of water and left out the tamari... yum! Ate it with ciabatta bread. I bet a little parmesan on top would have been good--isn't it always?

As per previously recommended, I decreased the milk to 2 cups and did not use the tamari. The soup tasted great and was a nice consistency. My husband is not a big soup person but he went back for seconds on this one! Thanks!

I skipped the tamari based on other reviews. Also, only added 2 cups milk as I wouldn't want it any thinner. It was very good served with some homemade bread. My only objection was that I would have wished that it had made a larger quantity!

this recipe should only be used if "constipated". It will clean you out in about thirty minutes and it tastes great to

Very tasty. I was afraid to add in the tamari, but did add some celery.

This is a little more work, but well worth it turns out great everytime.

I made quite a few changes but it was a great start, I just adjusted things for my family

Lovely! I had some asparagus left that wasn't going to get cooked (bought too much at GREAT sale price!) This was delicate - I had no tamari, so used a little Worcestershire to add depth instead. Everyone enjoyed it ... easy ... great idea for jazzing up a meal with a special opening. Will DEFINITELY make again!

Divine! I would definitely not use more than 2 cups of milk - and next time I may use 1 c. half and half, 1 c. milk. My blender could not hold the both the asparagus mixture and the milk and so I had to just puree the mixture then put it back in the pot and whisk the milk into it. This recipe made me want a hand held mixer! I would love to make this for a dinner party, serving in martini glasses and garnishing with an entire stalk of asparagus. I would also want to experiment using white asparagus. The dill added a lovely, lovely flavor.

My husband and I loved this recipe. My adult son stopped by just as I was serving it up, and he too thought it was excellent. I made a few minor changes as follows: I used skim milk for the milk called for in the recipe. 1 medium onion, chopped (instead of 1-1/2 cups), 4 Tbs. butter (rather than 6) and I replaced the 2 cups of water with 1 can of chicken broth plus 2 oz. water. Also, I only used 1 Tbs soy sauce. As another had suggested, I used my Braun hand blender directly in the pan which saved some time and clean-up. I heated the skim milk in the microwave and found the recipe came together quicker than expected. Thanks Holly for a an excellent recipe!

It was ok it had an oniony taste that over powered the aspargus.

Very tasty and SUPER CREAMY! I used a vegetable stock cube with the water and cut down on the milk a bit to get a nice thick soup. We absolutely loved it. I can't wait to make this in the winter as rich and creamy comfort food.

This vanished quickly last night and was loved by all. I only added 1T. of the soy sauce, as I was a little skeptical, but I now think that 2T. would be fine, too. I used 1% milk to save calories, and it was nice and rich.

Really excellent. The soy sauce added dimension to the taste. I used low-salt soy sauce to reduce sodium content. I reduced the amount of mild used to keep the soup thick. Everyone loved this soup, even my 91-year old father who doesn't like vegetables.

Very good. Followed directions to a "T". Kids did not like it but once again the green vegetable is an automatic dislike. Oh well, more for my husband and I. Thanks

Very nice. I used half water/half vegetable stock, and soy rather than milk. Very tasty. Good recipe!

Fresh tasting -- loved the dill. I used skim milk & half the butter to lower the calories. I will make this again.

Had some extra asparagus so I decided to try this soup and it turned out GREAT! I used a whole stick of butter because I was too lazy to measure out 6 tablespoons. I cooked it on my gas stove over low heat so the onions wouldn't burn. I also mixed it with a hand blender rather than puree in a regular blender. I love using my Braun hand blender. Everyone liked it and it had great flavor. I left out the soy sauce and used a little extra white pepper. The tips were like little bonuses in the soup. Highly recommend it!
