Lazy Pantry Asparagus Soup
I recently had a version of this soup at a lunch restaurant. I usually am not a huge fan of canned asparagus, but in those months when fresh asparagus is either unavailable fresh or just too costly, this might come in handy. You may also prefer to use leftover cooked asparagus instead, if you happen to have some. Adapted from a version found on worldwide gourmet.

Puree 2 cans of drained asparagus and chicken broth in blender , reserving remaining 1 can of asparagus for later.
Heat in a saucepan until warmed through , tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed.

Ladle soup into the bowls of asparagus and garnish each with a spoonful of sour cream.
