I halved this recipe because I only had one bunch of asparagus - I wish I'd had two! This was wonderful. I made it with skim milk and it was still perfectly creamy and had a great flavor. My husband, who looked suspiciously at his bowl of green soup, devoured the whole thing and asked for seconds! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. It will be a staple in our house for sure!

I have made this 3 times now and each time it's is fantastic. I have even frozen a batch, again still brilliant. So quick and easy to make too! Thanks for sharing Evie

We had such a big dinner last night that I haven't really been hungry all day today, so have snacked a little here and there. Tonight I felt I needed a good meal, but wanted something light. DH raided the fridge early on and snitched a wedge of last night's left-over Great Round Reuben and didn't want anything else. I cut this recipe in half thinking it would be way too much for us. Boy, I wish I would have made the whole thing now. I had a bowl along with some of Inez's [recipe=31382]Poppy Seed Muffins[/recipe]. They were both delicious and went beautifully together! There is just enough soup left-over that I will be reheating it for a side dish for tomorrow's dinner. Thank you for sharing a really terrific and easy recipe Eve!
