Low Fat Cream Of Asparagus Soup

---

I have absolutely no idea where this recipe came from. All i know it is good! I usually make it with asparagus, although i've also used broccoli. My dh loves this soup!!

---

Steps

---

Take one asparagus spear , hold at both ends , and bend it until it breaks.

---

Use the broken spear as a guide and cut the remaining spears to approximately the same length , discarding the large ends.

---

Slice asparagus spears in 1 inch lengths.

---

You should have about 2 cups of asparagus pieces.

---

Cook the asparagus pieces in a small amount of boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender.

---

Drain well.

---

While asparagus cooks , place butter , flour , and garlic into a blender container.

---

Top with cooked asparagus , then add all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

---

Pour into saucepan and heat gently until soup thickens.

---

I like to use thinly sliced green onion tops , low-fat sour cream and a couple of croutons for a garnish.
