Creamed Asparagus Soup

By: Every Day with Rachael Ray 
"Cream cheese enriches this simple soup and enhances its fresh spring vegetable flavor. For a great presentation, puree soup without the cream cheese. Then mix cream cheese and milk into a pourable mixture and swirl in for a beautiful and flavorful finish. Garnish with asparagus tips."
