This was great! My son (8) dislikes asparagus, so I told him it was "cream of veggie soup." He took one tentative bite (I mean, it WAS green!) and said, "mmm, this is good!" Hubby gave me "the look" since I kinda told a story about the origins, but we agreed not to tell him unless he asks. The soup was a little salty; next time I won't add the 1 tsp salt, but it was a healthy start to our ratatoullie dinner; everything helps when you try to eat healthier. Thanks for the post; this is going in my "keeper" file.

i don't like soups all that much but this one is very, very good and so easy to prepare. great with some fresh shredded parmesan cheese on top....yummy!

I have a family member who needs to have everything pureed. I made this for him and my hubby and I. I didn't change a thing. It was wonderful. I loved the creaminess the sour cream gave it and the tangy back flavor of the lemon juice. I am now going to try substituting spinach and see if it holds up as well. Thanks for a lovely recipe.

This is a great recipe! I've made it several times. I cut the tips off and chop into small chunks, then I set them aside. When you are ready to melt the butter- add the chopped pieces of tips to saute in the butter. Also, I don't bother with the sour cream and use 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk.

This is a really good and easy recipe. Made as written and it turned out great.

I just had to write this note and let everyone know that THIS recipe was EXCELLENT!!! I just made it and am very, very pleased with myself.. I thank everyone here at All Recipes for submitting such wonderful and tasty recipes.

Very yummy, simple soup. I used veggie broth since we don't eat meat, and it was still delicious.

Good, but I felt it lacked flavor. We had to put more salt and pepper when we ate it.

This soup is fantastic! I make it regularly for guests and even get requests for it from sick friends. I have tweaked it through out the years. Always double it. I use 1 cup lowfat milk, 1 cup fat free half and half. I add 2 good pinches of red pepper flakes to the rue. It does not make it spicy, only adds a little heat under all the flavors. I use 1/2 tea more salt and a pinch of garlic powder. I puree in batches in my blendar. Dont forget the lemon. I always squeeze a tablespoon or so from a fresh lemon (never the reconstituded stuff it is not the same). I serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a touch of red pepper flakes to mix in. It is a lovely presnetation. I have never had a person not love it.

All those that didnt like it because it was stringy - you need to break off the dried ends prior to making this (or any other) asparagus dish. (Hold spear between thumb and first finger with both hands and bend spear until it snaps off. Throw the bottoms away!. This recipe was super easy quick and very easy to make. I only had a spoon or two as I was cleaning out the pot I cooked it in after I transfered it to smaller serving bowls to cool. It's going to be lunch for myself and a asparagus loving employee tomorrow. In any case, the few spoons I had tasted wonderful! Only suggestion I could think to make was that next time I will add some freshly shaved parmesan cheese and save some asparagus tips for garnish. If you like asparagus - try this recipe! You wont be disappointed.

YUM!!! I have made this soup many times. I even tried it with white asparagus. I follow the instructions as written and I will do it again and again. Great soup!!

This is outstanding! I'm a bit sensitive to dairy, so I'm trying without the sour cream addition and it's delicious! My first time making asparagus soup and I coudn't be happier with how it turned out.

I didn't change a thing and this recipe turned out AWESOME! It was a little too much work for a weeknight dinner, so next time I will plan it for a weekend dinner. I drizzled this soup over the top of Amazing Chicken (from this site) and a bed of steel cut oats cooked in chicken broth. Needless to say, it was a fantastic dinner (especially since hubby did the dishes afterwards!)

This was delicious, rich, and simple to make. I will definitely keep this in my recipe box.

Very easy and to the point. The only thing I did different was to puree the vegies with some texture. It was great
