Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (8-ounce) packages frozen asparagus spears, thawed
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 (10.5-ounce) can white sauce
3/4 cup cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Trim tips off of thawed asparagus spears; set aside.
  • Chop asparagus stalks and place in medium saucepan. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes.
  • Transfer asparagus and stock to a blender and puree until smooth. Work in batches, if necessary. (TIP: To avoid spilling, cover blender with dish towel and pulse.)
  • Set mesh strainer over saucepan and pour asparagus puree into it, if desired, or return puree to saucepan. Add white sauce and whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and add cream and reserved asparagus tips. Heat soup through and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot.
