Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 small onion, chopped
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of asparagus soup, undiluted
2 soup cans whole milk
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushroom, drained
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a large kettle, cook asparagus and onion in a small amount of water until tender. Drain liquid. Add all remaining ingredients; heat over medium until the cheese is melted and the soup is hot.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus will have a brighter flavor and a more tender texture than asparagus that has been frozen or canned.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked just until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Add some herbs or spices. Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Try adding some thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious soup.

Conclusion:

Cheesy asparagus soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and tender asparagus, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
