Creamy Asparagus Chowder image

This is from Shirley Beachum of Shelby Michigan. She writes, "While this soup's good with fresh asparagus, it can also be prepared with frozen or canned. In fact, I like to blanch and freeze asparagus in portions just right for this recipe--that way, I can make our favorite chowder all year."

This chowder was easy to make and very tasty! I used fresh asparagus from my garden and it really made a difference. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the asparagus is perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again!

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This chowder was easy to make and very tasty! I used frozen asparagus and it worked out just fine. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick. Will definitely make this again!

This chowder was okay. It was a bit bland for my taste, even after I added more salt and pepper. I think it would be better with some additional vegetables, like carrots or celery.
