    Made this with asparagus ends left over from pickling asparagus. Amazing!! I only had a few strings after blending and the taste was great. Great way to minimize wasted ends. I will be making this over and over

    This was wonderful!! Even though (health reasons used margarine and fat-free sour cream, it still tasted rich. The hot paprika gave it a nice little kick without being too hot or overwhelming. Great recipe!

    Yummy! Perfect for a winter evening!! I made this soup last night and it was sooooo easy!! I followed the recipe exactly, but since I only had one bunch of asparagus, and it was just for me, I cut the chicken broth down to 4 cups and the sour cream to about 1 cup (8 oz. I used the same amount of onion and garlic- why not?! I zoomed my immersion blender through after letting it cool a bit. I topped each bowl (and I had 2 with a bit of shredded parm, black pepper and paprika. Served with a mixed green salad and I was so happy that I made something so tasty!! I even have enough left for lunch today! Thank you Sunny!!

    It was pretty good, but not a showstopper. My blender exploded when I started blending! I got asparagus juice all over the place. I guess I'm not very experienced with blending hot liquid! Finally figured out that I needed to fill blender a quarter full and hold the lid down with all my strength. The sour cream would not dissolve fully, so even though it tasted pretty good, it had white lumps. Probably will not make this again.

    I when i first saw this recipe i was really hesitant, it just sounds so weird... also my husband only likes asparagus one way, grilled with olive oil and seasoning salt. So the first time i made it i grilled the asparagus then cut it up and cooked it until it was tender. OH MY GOSH! So good!! For me it really doens't come together until you add in the sour cream, before adding it, the soup is a little eh, but as soon as you add it it brings the whole soup together! I served it at christmas this past year and it was a huge hit!!! i added garlic to it (cause my husband and i are big garlic fans and used only veggie stock. SO SO SO GOOD! Even my kids enjoy it. Cream of Asparagus Soup...who knew it could be so good!!!

    Horrid! Normally love these cream soups. Did it just as recipe called for, but increased garlic to 3 cloves, a bit more onion, a bit more asparagus and 1/2 the amount of sour cream, Used organic on all. Made it for my son who was ill, but knew he threw it out when I walked out the door....I thought maybe it was my taste-buds, but he thought it was terrible, also. I sure wouldn't try this one for a party without testing it first! I am one of the few who says NO on this one.

    This is easy and delish. I'll admit I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream because that's what I had.

    This was so yummy!! I used chicken & vegetable broth, simmered the asparagus for a good 40 mins, pureed with an emersion blender & it came so smooth. I added light sour cream & it was so delicious. Topped off with homemade croutons. An elegant starter for a nice meal to follow. Thanks Sunny!!

    Really tasty but how do you get rid of the fibrous stuff. I tried a fine mesh strainer, and it just left juice, I pureed the heck out of it in the blender, still there. I don't know, maybe chopping the asparagus into 1/2 size pieces, but thats sort of a pain. Advise, help? Please. The soup was delish otherwise.
