This soup is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with skim milk next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the asparagus.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had a bunch of asparagus that was about to go bad, so I made this soup and it turned out great.

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