Wednesday, April 5, was a cool, rainy day, so making asparagus soup seemed like a great idea.

Deb brought fresh asparagus for lunch a few days earlier. It had been given to her and was picked rather old, so she only used the top 5 inches when sautéing it.

I asked her to not throw out the bottoms, because they would make good soup.

I also had asparagus in the freezer that needed to be used.

I added onion and seasonings, cooked it, then put it in a food processor.

Oh, yum! This will be delicious next winter – if I don’t eat it all before then.

If you are wondering, I make it like canned tomato soup.

After getting a container out of the freezer and thawing it, I add half part soup mix to half part milk, put it in a coffee cup, heat it in the microwave and drink it.

Of course it can be put in a soup bowl as well. 🙂

It is delicious to my taste buds.
