A little thin, could be more flavorful. No depth.
Read MoreFound it to be kind of bland. Don't know if I'll try it again or not.
Read MoreI did the original recipe two days ago, but it was bland. I didn't care for it. Today I redid it but added a leek. I sliced thin and put it the pan on medium heat till transparent. I added the corn starch to the leek and then added the milk. What a difference! A new favorite
Read MoreSuch a wonderful soup with tons of flavor for something so simple to make from so few ingredients! I did end up adding some additional flour to thicken it up a bit more and used an immersion blended which made things even easier. Finished the soup with fresh cracked pepper. A keeper!!
Read MoreI love this recipe! I shared it with my parents and they make it frequently now. It is easy to make. I used my immersion blender instead of a blender. I made two minor adjustments: 1) I used dried seasonings instead of fresh and 2) I used fresh squeezed lemon juice instead of lemon rind. Turned out great. I loved the hint of lemon with the Asparagus!
Read MoreI liked this soup a fair amount. I could see making it again some day. I'm not sure when it's appropriate. I made it for dinner on a Monday night and it was a decent meal. It could probably benefit from another dish to go along with it. I used the Cream of Carrot Soup recipe and doubled the ingredients. I added croutons and cheese (as usual) and served it with a sweet wine, which really added to my enjoyment of the soup.
Read MoreDelicious! I'll definitely do this one again. I used whole milk since I had that left over from another recipe. I imagine that made it thicker. I did the asparagus version. It was a much quicker soup than I expected--great for week nights.
Read MoreGood soup, but not as thick as I'm used to.
Read MoreA wonderful cream of asparagus soup - velvety smooth, and full of fresh flavors from the bay leaf, thyme, and asparagus. Just a hint of sweetness, and not too salty.
Read MoreI really like this soup. It is filling and has a nice mild taste. I used 2% milk, so it may have changed the consistency a bit, but it is very creamy. I will make again for sure and wouldn't hesitate to serve to company. I served with grilled flank steak and baked potatoes.
Read MoreDelicious and everyone loved it. Easy and quick, but could easily be served at a dinner party. I reserved about 1 cup of the asparagus tips cut to 1" and added to te soup in the last 5 minutes or so. It looks pretty in the bowl.
Read MoreI have made this twice now in the last two weeks, once the carrot version and once the leek version-- both times with thyme, no bay leaf & almond milk instead of regular (I am new to being lactose intolerant but love creamy soups!). It's a solid Cream Of ________ Soup recipe. Best part is it really only takes a half hour to make. I find that I personally prefer just a bit more butter, little less salt (especially with the leeks) and a bit more lemon rind. Pepper at the end.
Read MoreI made half this recipe for my husband and I. It is SOOO good. I followed the recipe except that I used half skim and half half&half. It bumped up the fat but oh-so worth it. For half the recipe it took 1 pound of asparagus to make 1 1/2 cup sliced.
Read MoreI had lots of asparagus and needed to use it. I followed the recipe exactly and no one in my family liked it.
Read MoreThis soup was simple to make and creamy and delicious without adding much fat and calories. I substituted skim milk for the 2% because that is what I had in the house, and it still came out creamy and a great soup consistency. This soup is also delicious cold for a hot summer day! I would definatley make this dish again, my fiance and I both really enjoyed it, and it was a great quick weeknight meal.
Read MoreDelicious and easy!! We can't wait to try the variations!
Read MoreThis was really delicious and easy to make, especially using an immersion blender instead of a regular blender. I would probably double the recipe if I wanted it as a main dish soup. Definitely a good use of asparagus when it is on sale.
Read Morewe loved this soup!!! I have made it a couple of times & just love it.
Read MoreThis came out way too thin for our liking. It does have a great flavor. I added some red pepper flakes to give it a little spice. If I make again I would not use as much broth, and would add some potatoes and carrots to give it a bit more substance. Served with a salmon and arugala salad with blue cheese.
