Scrumptious Cream of Asparagus Soup Recipe image

Nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold day. This will be a favorite, and it's simple to make. Asparagus originated in the Mediterranean and is a member of the lily family. It was enjoyed by Greeks, Egyptians and Romans and is pictured on an Egyptian frieze dating back to 3000 BC.
