Cream of Asparagus Soup

This is one of those very easy and tasteful soups that can be made very quickly if you already have chicken stock on hand. Can take approximately 25 minutes to prepare and cook and with 242 calories per serving, well, I'll let you be the judge.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Butter
1/4 cup chopped Onion
2 tbsp Flour
1 cup Chicken stock
2 cup Milk (If you want a more creamier soup, use half and half or Homogenized)
2 cups chopped Asparagus

Directions:

1. Saute onion in Butter until clear.

2. Add Asparagus, milk, chicken stock, salt and pepper.  Boil until asparagus is tender.

4.  Add flour and continue to boil to let thicken (5 minutes) 

3. Run through a food processor or blender until blended.

4. Serve hot with cheddar or Parmesan cheese as garnish.
