    Very good. The only difference I made was adding more milk as it seemed to be very thick. I will definitely make again.

    I made this today but used fresh dill instead of parsley. It was great! My husband said the only problem was, there wasn't more. I love having a use for the ends of the asparagus.

    Great way to get the full bang for your buck when buying Asparagus! Easy & very tasty. A quick go to meal for lunch or supper using items from your pantry. Now I keep the left over stems from the Asparagus, toss in the freezer to whip this soup up in a flash!!

    This was an easy weekday meal. My whole family loved it. Served it with a crusty bread, some fresh veggies and we were good to go!

    I did this recipe, but added some small potatoes to it. It was so good, and pretty easy to make! My husband, who is definatly a meat and potatoes man, ate it up with no problems, and didn't complain about lack of meat. I would recommend this to anyone!

    This was good and easy and fast but not likely destined for my have to make again category. It was tasty, but not the best by any means of recipes I have tried for asparagus soup. I try to stay away from processed, prepared foods so I was hesitant about trying this recipe with canned soup. It seems as adding a potato without all the preservatives, chemicals, and other artificial ingredients would have been far healthier. In defense to the recipe the amount of asparagus is vague. A bunch of Calif. grown asparagus vs. Michigan yields are very different with little waste for Michigan vs. 1/2 stalk Calif.. None the less I added quite a bit more than a bunch of Michigan asparagus ends. I used 1/2% milk. Perhaps if I used milk with a higher fat content it would have had a richer taste. I thought the soup was rather bland and definitely in need of salt and pepper, which I cautiously add in small increments. It still seems a bit lacking with a a little brightner needed be it dash of lemon, more asparagus, more sour cream. I did not enjoy the minced parsley added in. Better to hold and use as a garnish.

    I made this last night. It was easy and absolutely wonderful. I ate two bowls of it and had to stop myself from eating a third. I love asparagus and now the stems won't ever be wasted again. Thank you, Sandra.

    I'VE ONLY MADE CREAM SOUPS A FEW TIMES AND ALWAYS WITHOUT A RECIPE.. i SAW YOUR RECIPE AND WE WERE GOING TO GO AWAY FOR THREE DAYS, SO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO USE A FEW VEGETABLES BEFORE WE GO, SO I READ YOUR RECIPE OVER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HERE IS WHAT I DID.. PUT 2 CARROTS, 1/2 MED . SIZE ONION, 1 SMALL CROWN OF RAW BROCCOLI, ASPARAGUS ENDS, EXCEPT TOUGH PART AND 2 MED. SIZED PEELED AND CHUNKED POTATOES IN A FOOD PROCCESSOR. i GROUND IT ALL AS MUCH AS I COULD AND PUT IT IN A 3 QT. SAUCE PAN. I ADDED A COUPLE OF CUPS OF WATER AND LET IT COOK UNTIL TENDER.. THEN I ADDED 2 CUPS OF SKIM MILK, PARSLEY SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE.. I FORGOT, I ALSO ADDED SALT TO THE WATER TO COOK THE PURREED VEGETABLES. AFTER STIRRING OCCASSIONALLY, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS COOKED ENOUGH ON LOW, (BECAUSE IT CAN BURN EASY WITH MILK AND MASHED VEGGIESI STRAINED THE PURREED VEGGIES INTO ANOTHER POT, PULSED THE VEGGIES AGAIN IN THE FOOD PROCCESSOR AND YOU HAVE A HEALTHY LOW FAT CREAM OF VEGETAABLE SOUP... MY TWO ADULT DIETING DAUGHTERS THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT TASTY TREAT FOR A CHANGE....THANKS FOR SHOWING ME HOW TO USE ALL OF MY LEFT VEGGIES AND NOT LETTING THEM GO TO WASTE...

    I was so happy to see a recipe (or recipes use the ENTIRE asparagas.
    I usually only use the top 1/3 part and toss the remainder away. Not anymore... Ill use this again and again.......................
