I tried this recipe and it turned out great! I used low-fat milk and butter to make it a little healthier.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cream and butter mellowed out the flavor of the asparagus and made it very palatable.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The asparagus flavor was perfectly balanced with the cream and butter, and the texture was smooth and velvety. I will definitely be making this again!
