It's not difficult to fix a batch of this smooth, comforting soup. It has wonderful homemade goodness. A singe steaming bowl really warms me up...but I usually can't resist going back for seconds. -Veva Hepler, Walla Walla, Washington

This soup is not worth the effort. It's just a bunch of bland ingredients thrown together.

This soup is way too expensive. I can get a better soup at the grocery store for half the price.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup curdled. I'll have to try it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thin. I think I'll add more flour next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also like to add a bit of shredded cheese to the soup.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this soup. The creaminess of the soup balanced out the bitterness of the asparagus.

This creamy asparagus soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the soup was so smooth and creamy. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
