Very tasty! I used lite sour cream, I think you could easily use fat-free. I pureed 1/2 and lightly pureed the other half (I like chunks in my soup). I also used other reviews and mixed the steamed tips in.

I LOVE this soup, so did my little ones (ages 1 and 3). Hubby hates asparagus so the soup did not go over with him, but the rest of us can't wait to have it again. I did reduce the butter to 1Tbsp in order to cut fat and I used skim milk and it tasted fine.

I made this today, scaled to 10, for Easter Dinner tomorrow. I followed the recipe exactly, but used reduced-fat sour cream and whole milk. I snipped the tips off the asparagus, boiled them for a few minutes to use as garnish (Thanks for the tip other reviewer). Well, I snuck a small bowl of it when it was finished. I can't wait to hear the oooos and ahhhs tomorrow. What a perfect Easter (or Spring dinner) appetizer. What a perfect soup! Thanks! P.S. Buy nearly twice as much asparagus as the recipe calls for ... you have to remove the woody ends.

Wonderul recipe! Tastes as though it were much more complicated to make. I used nonfat milk and would probably use 2% in the future.

Since I can never follow a recipe exactly, I added some bacon crumbles to make it my own..... but, it wouldn't have mattered. This is by far the best soup I have ever made or have ever tasted. My family went bananas and I'm on my way to the store to get more asparagus! And, it was SO easy!

Great flavor. The lemon really blends well with the asparagus. Used fat free half and half instead of milk and fat free sour cream and you would never know it. Also, I sauteed the onion in the butter, then added the asparagus and cooked. Rather than pureeing at this point, added the other ingredients (except sour cream and lemon) omitted the flour and added 1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water and simmered till it thickened, then added the sour cream and lemon. Used a hand blender to puree it at the end.

A very nice simple recipe that hits the spot. I used Creme Fraiche instead of milk and sour cream. Also cut off the tips of the asparagus and boiled them in salt water for about 4 minutes, saved them for garnish and I sauteed my onions in the beginning.

really a wonderful soup - I accidentally overcooked some asparagus and needed to use it up - but I could see doing this again!

I served this soup at a dinner party. Everyone loved it. I did not have sour cream so I substituted non-fat yogurt and used 1% milk. It was so good and did cut a few calories. I will make this soup often.

Very easy to make! I substituted with fat free sour cream, skim milk and margarine and it was still yummy! My husband wasn't a fan of it, but he's not a "cream" kinda guy!

Great recipie! I too didn't add all the butter, I also used more asparagus than the recipie called for~ just because I wanted it to have more flavor. My husband who doesn't even like asparagus thought it was good.

This was so tasty we ran out and bought asparagus so we could make more! Remember that you can use the big asparagus that you wouldn't use otherwise because it's going to be pureed. Other than doubling the recipe the only thing I would change is that I would save the asparagus heads after sauteeing and use them as garnish instead of pureeing them. Excellent recipe!

This soup is very good, though a bit too buttery for my liking. I will definitely omit the butter on the next go round. I also used 1% milk and non-fat sour cream - yummy and healthy! It's fabulous paired with the Asparagus and Shrimp Stir Fry with Noodles.

My wife found this recipe in the Tried & True Quick & Easy Cookbook and it has fast become a family favorite. We double the recipe because 4 servings just isn't enough. My gluten-free mother subbed corn starch for flour and she loves it too. Thanks.

Fantastic, I made this soup for a very important dinner party I was throwing. I had so many compliments that I ended up printing this recipe off for most of my guests before they had left for the evening. One tip for novice asparagus handlers, don't use the ends of the asparagus, they remain woody even after being cooked, I ended up straining the soup to get the woody pieces out, ha ha, live and learn!

I just got a hand blender and was looking for an easy recipe to try it out. Pleasently surprised!Easy and good, what else could you ask for? I didn't add the sour cream to the entire batch. Just added it to separate servings, and still great. A must try!
