Great, but a little salty. I'll just omit the salt next time, the chicken broth is sufficient. I also saved the asparagus tips and threw them in mid-way with some leeks. Will definitely make this again, thanks!

Absolutely wonderful soup! Very easy to make, great taste too! My husband loved it! Very good with a splash of lemon juice and a dollop of sour cream on top of each individual serving! Definately a keeper!

Truely a wonderful homemade soup. Very easy to make. I wasn't sure the "man" liked it very much until he began hunting for leftovers, of which there were none! Make sure you soak and rinse the asparagus well. I could detect a bit of grit. (entirely my fault). My 10 year old liked it too. Next time I will reserve some asparagus tips for a varied texture. Thank you for this yummy recipe.

What a rich and creamy soup!! I served this soup to my husband on a cold and rainy night, along with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. We both loved it!! There was a little left over, and I used it for a quick sauce with a vegetable side dish the next night.

Yummy!, Bought a pound of fresh asparagus last week, my husband is not fond of the vegatable, had a vacation day today and knew I had to cook the asparagus soon, so I thought maybe I could get him to eat a cream soup,and found this recipe, I used a potatoe masher and not the blender, turned out wonderful. Gave him a little cheddar cheese on the top of the hot soup. He loved it.! My first time to use this web site.

Asparagus is my all-time favorite vegetable and I loved it in this soup. It was so easy to make for a quick lunch. My husband liked it too. It turns out to be a pretty color green too.

Wicked awesome!!! My friend who ate some of the batch I cooked last week is sitting before me still raving about it right now. I didn't have all the sour cream, so I substituted some jarred alfredo sauce instead, and it turn out great! You must try this recipe!!!

Great Soup, I loved it and so did my family. The only changes I made was that I only pureed half of the asparagus and cut the rest into smaller pieces to give it some texture. This soup was also easy enough for me to make, and I'm only 13, all in all great recipe. I will definatly make it again.

This was very good. Didn't have fresh lemons on hand but very good nonetheless. Great soup to compliment a nice salad or sandwich!

Wow! This was amazing... Very gourmet looking, and the flavour was even better than I expected!! I subbed the milk and sour cream for skim and fat free to cut down on the calories, and it was still very creamy and nice. I'll bet its just to die for with the real thing.

The colour of this soup was fantastic. It was very easy to make. I did alter the recipe a bit and added some fresh spinach that I had in the fridge and some fresh basil. The lemon juice really added a zing at the end!

If you want your friends to think you've become an overnight gourmet chef, I urge you to serve this wonderful soup. I mixed things up a bit by adding my flour to the onions once they were just about done. I then added my broth a little at a time and whisked to keep it lump free. I then added two bunches of asparagus and simmered until tender. From there I pureed in my food processor and added the vegies back into the pot. I seasoned with my ususal garlic and onion powders, black pepper and lots of dried dill weed. I didn't see the need for the milk, so I just used a large dollop of low fat sour cream. I garnished with some of the tips and mad crostini on the side which made a beautiful presentation! The color is fabulous and the flavors are even better Holly. Hubby went nuts over this and I thank you for submitting this truly elegant recipe!

I made this this evening with white whole wheat flour (didn't have all-purpose), skim milk and light sour cream. It couldn't have been better. This is going on my "short list"!
