Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb asparagus spear, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cups chicken broth (I use fresh but canned will work)
2 teaspoons thyme (freshly minced)
1 dash hot sauce
salt and pepper
sour cream, & chives to top each bowl (optional)

Steps:

Throw everything except the sour cream and chives into a sauce pot.
Cover with water if necessary and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes until the asparagus and potatoes are fork tender.
Ladle the mixture into your blender- I do it in several batches to be safe.
Reheat in the microwave as needed and top with sour cream and chives or whatever is in your pantry!
